Depending on your account activity throughout the year, you may receive one or more of the following documents: You'll receive a Robinhood Securities IRS Form 1099 if you had a taxable event in 2021 including dividend payments, interest income, miscellaneous income, or if you sold stocks, mutual funds/ETFs, or options.
Yes, Robinhood Report to the IRS. The dividends you receive from your Robinhood shares or any profits you earn through selling stocks via the app must be included on your tax return. If you profit from selling securities and pay tax on it, the rate will be based on the length of time you owned the stock.
To be clear, if you didn't sell any assets and those investments didn't make any dividends, then you won't have to report them to the IRS. If you made less than $10 in dividends or less than $600 in free stocks, you will still have to report this income to the IRS, but you won't get a 1099 from Robinhood.
It is important to note that every transaction made on Robinhood is reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and can turn into a tax nightmare if not reported properly on your tax return. In short, this means that if you sell an investment at a profit, it must be reported on your individual tax return.
If you fail to report the gain, the IRS will become immediately suspicious. While the IRS may simply identify and correct a small loss and ding you for the difference, a larger missing capital gain could set off the alarms.
Robinhood Securities provides a consolidated 1099 document, which includes information from your 1099-DIV, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, and 1099-B. Robinhood Crypto provides its own separate consolidated 1099-B.
If you receive a Form 1099 from Robinhood, that means you will owe taxes. As you prepare your personal income tax return, there will be lines for you to add capital gain and dividend amounts.

Chances are high that the IRS will catch a missing 1099 form. Using their matching system, the IRS can easily detect any errors in your returns. After all, they also receive a copy of your 1099 form, so they know exactly how much you need to pay in taxes.
We are generally required to withhold 30% from dividends and interest paid to you if you are a non-US person. This withholding tax will automatically be deducted from the dividend and interest payments you receive.

Information statement matching: The IRS receives copies of income-reporting statements (such as forms 1099, W-2, K-1, etc.) sent to you. It then uses automated computer programs to match this information to your individual tax return to ensure the income reported on these statements is reported on your tax return.
Usually, if you earn less than $1,000, you probably are not responsible for filing taxes. However, if you are an independent contractor or self-employed, you need to report this income.
The key to Form 1099 is IRS computerized matching. Every Form 1099 includes the payer's employer identification number (EIN) and the payee's Social Security (or taxpayer-identification) number. The IRS matches nearly every 1099 form with the payee's tax return.
If you receive a Form 1099 and don't include the reported item on your tax return, you can expect an IRS notice or bill. Each Form 1099 is matched to your Social Security number, so the IRS can easily churn out a tax bill if you fail to report one.
The agency loves them because they allow its computers to keep tabs on ordinary taxpayers, even while it audits less than 1% of all individual tax returns. The IRS matches nearly all 1099s and W-2s (those are the wage report forms from your employer) against your 1040.
Red flags may include excessive write-offs compared with income, unreported earnings, refundable tax credits and more. “My best advice is that you're only as good as your receipts,” said John Apisa, a CPA and partner at PKF O'Connor Davies LLP.
Reporting to The IRS
A 1099 is reported to the IRS and the government will know you received the income, even if you forgot to include it on your tax return.
Normally income you received totaling over $600 for non-employee compensation (and/or at least $10 in royalties or broker payments) is reported on Form 1099-MISC. If you are self-employed, you are required to report your self-employment income if the amount you receive from all sources equals $400 or more.
