What's a 1099 consolidated tax statement?

A 1099 consolidated tax statement combines multiple 1099 forms—1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-OID, 1099-B, and 1099-MISC—into a single, multi-page document. Some consolidated statements include all 5 forms, while others only include the 1099s the IRS requires for that client.

If your brokerage uses consolidated statements, you should get yours by late February. It's not uncommon to get a second, corrected statement in March or even April, especially if you have overseas investments.

There's no single screen in TurboTax where you enter a consolidated statement. Rather, enter each 1099 form on its own dedicated screen, but only if it contains non-zero amounts.

For example, if you see dollar amounts in Form 1099-B on your statement, but the other four 1099 variations contain zero-dollar amounts, only enter the 1099-B in TurboTax.
