Although a learning curve was expected when the IRS premiered these new forms to support the new cost basis law, taxpayers are having a more difficult time than originally anticipated. Taxpayers are having issues with the new 1099-B reporting incomplete or incorrect cost basis information. To complicate matters, brokerage firms were granted a 1099-B reporting deadline extension until March 15, which according to a March 2, 2012 Reuters.com article entitled “Brokers Delay 1099’s Causing U.S. Investor Angst,” has left thousands of taxpayers very frustrated and angry because they don’t have the cost basis information they need to complete the 8949.
“The 2011 tax season is the initiation of the cost basis changes and the release of the new forms 1099-B and 8949. As with most new releases, there is a period of time where adjustments have to be made, but taxpayers seem to be having a bit of a struggle with these changes. NetWorth Services want to help taxpayers accurately report their cost basis regardless of the information that was or was not reported on their 1099-B,” said Nico R. Willis, CEO of NetWorth Services. “Our Netbasis application can provide taxpayers with the ability to calculate and report accurate cost basis information with or without their 1099-B.”
