Form 1099-B is used by brokers and barter exchanges to report proceeds from transactions to the Internal Revenue Service. The form will be used by IRS to verify compliance with the reporting rules and to verify that the recipient has included the proper amount of income on his or her return.
US Code:
26 USC 6045
Name of Law: Returns of brokers
Treasury Regulations 1.6045-1(a)(15); there was a program change initiated by Treasury, Income Tax Withholding, to add three lines to the form because several states have requested boxes for reporting withholding of state income tax. To provide additional information to recipients and Internal Revenue Service, two more lines were added for stock or other applicable symbol's for the stock/security and the quantity of shares sold. These changes resulted in an increase in burden. We are making this submission to renew the OMB approval.
