Commonly Asked Questions

What should I do if I did not receive my 1099-INT?

Verify that your total dividend income was $10 or greater. Your dividends earned on each account can be viewed on your December account statement. You will not receive a 1099-INT when the dividends earned for a given Tax Identification Number are less than $10. If you are enrolled in eDocuments and earned $10 or more in dividends, please log in to online banking and select the “Accounts” tab, and then select "Statements & Documents."

Why didn't I get a form for my IRA/HSA Distributions?

If you did not have any distributions from your IRA/HSA, you would not receive a 1099-R/Q/SA form.

Will I owe income taxes when I withdraw from my Traditional IRA?

In most cases, you will owe income taxes when you withdraw from your Traditional IRA. If you make nondeductible contributions to a Traditional IRA, a portion of each withdrawal will be treated as the nontaxable return of these contributions. Please consult a tax advisor.

Are contributions to a Traditional IRA tax deductible?

Contributions may be deductible based on your retirement plan coverage, filing status and income. To be sure, it is best to consult a tax advisor.

Are contributions to a Coverdell ESA tax deductible?

No. Coverdell ESA contributions are not tax deductible.

Are contributions to a SEP Plan tax deductible?

Generally, if they were made by your employer, you cannot deduct these contributions. If you made the contributions as a self-employed person, they may be deductible. Consult a tax advisor.

If I completed a rollover from my other financial institution to Elevations Credit Union, will I receive a 1099-R and/or 1099-Q form from Elevations?

No. In this situation, the other financial institution will provide you with the 1099-R/1099-Q Tax Form(s). You may receive 1099-R/1099-Q Tax Form(s) for other withdrawals made from your IRA at Elevations Credit Union.

What is a 1099-C form?

A 1099-C reports cancellation of debt by collections. This form will show the date of cancellation and the amount. The IRS requires that the forms are postmarked no later than Jan. 31.

Do I need to send Elevations a copy of my tax bill?

A copy of your tax bill is sent to us automatically, so you do not need to send in a copy.
