Form 1099B (“Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange”) is used to report proceeds from broker and barter exchange transactions to the recipient of such proceeds. Form 1099B must be issued by January 31 of the year following the calendar year in which such transactions occurred. Form 1099B reflects all proceeds from the sale of stocks. Form 1099B also reflects sale transactions related to the exercise of stock options. Form 1099B does not reflect buy transactions, and does not reflect capital gain or loss calculations. The proceeds reported on Form 1099B are net of commissions related to such transactions. Form 1099B is also used to report to an investor a change in control or a substantial change in capital structure by a company whose stock is owned by the investor.
