  • There are six important tax dates you should know for 2023.
  • Tax Day is April 18, 2023. 
  • You can make 2022 IRA contributions until April 18, 2023 at 3 p.m. EST.

Tax season is just around the corner. To help you get organized, here’s a breakdown of tax forms you can expect from Stash, as well as six dates they are likely to be available.

For more information about the specific forms, you can go to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website. The IRS is the official source of deadlines, rules, and regulations for your taxes. We also recommend consulting a tax professional if you have specific questions. 

On or before January 31, 2023

Forms available!

Form 1099-R is available from Stash. You will only receive a 1099-R if you have taken a distribution (withdrawal) from your Stash Retire account that was $10 or more. If you’ve taken more than $10 out of your Stash Retire account, you should receive this form.

Profit and Loss statement is available from Apex Crypto for those who invest in Stash Crypto. This statement can be inputted into your chosen tax software. 

On or before February 15, 2023

Forms available!

Consolidated Form 1099. If you meet the criteria for multiple 1099s, we will issue you what’s called a Consolidated 1099 that will consolidate all relevant forms into one convenient document. Many Stash investors will have Consolidated 1099s. A Consolidated 1099 may include:

Form 1099-B. This form is issued by Stash to represent realized gains or losses in any investment in your Stash Invest account in 2022.

There’s still a chance that you might get a 1099-B if you are subject to any backup withholding. Backup withholding happens when the information you have on file with the IRS does not match the information you have on file with Stash, the information is not corrected within an allotted time-frame, and you have any activity in your account during this time. For instance, the IRS has your social security number on file as 123-45-6789 but your SSN was reported to Stash as 124-35-6789.

Form 1099-DIV. This form is sent by Stash if you received dividends in 2022.

Form 1099-INT. This form is sent by Stash if you received more than $10 in interest in 2022.

February 28, 2023

Customers in Puerto Rico!

Form PR 480.6. This form is sent by Stash if  you need to report certain income received by Puerto Rico taxpayers and Puerto Rico tax withholding.

April 18, 2023

3 p.m. EST

Stash Retire customers!

This is the final deadline to make a contribution toward your 2022 individual retirement account (IRA). Any contributions made after 3:00 p.m. EST on April 18 will go toward your 2023 contribution limit.

April 18, 2023

Tax Day!

This is your deadline to file your taxes this year. Certain states have specific deadlines, so be sure to check your state’s website for the most accurate deadline information.

On or before May 31, 2023

Form Available!

Form 5498. This form is only applicable for Stash customers with a Stash Retire IRA. The form will showcase all activity, such as contributions, rollovers, etc., that took place within your Stash Retire IRA during the 2022 tax year. This form is mostly for your records. It is sent to you as well as the IRS, and it is not necessary in order for you to file your taxes in a timely manner. 

October 15, 2023

Tax Day Take 2!

This is the last day to file your taxes if you’ve previously filed for an extension.

December 31, 2023

Take the required minimum distribution (RMD)

If you’re 72 or older, you must  take a required minimum distribution from your IRA every year, also known as an RMD. (That’s 70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020.) If you have an IRA and you meet these criteria, remember to take your RMD by the end of 2023, as you are required to take your RMD by December 31 of each year. You can figure out how much you need to withdraw from your account by using the worksheets found here.

Last day to buy or sell stocks in order to claim gains and losses

When you file your taxes, you have to claim your capital gains and losses, or how much you earned or lost by buying and selling investments this year. One strategy you might use is to sell investments that have lost value to offset the taxes you’ll have to pay on gains, which is called tax-loss harvesting. In order to employ this strategy, you’ll have to make any sales or purchases by the end of the 2023 year.
