1099-R Information Guide

If you withdrew any money from your Acorns Later account in the 2018 calendar year, you’ll get a 1099-R form. The information on a 1099-R form is reported by Acorns to you and the IRS.

We created this 1099 Information Guide to help you understand the form and how it relates to your taxes. Acorns does not provide tax advice. This information is for informational purposes. Please consult a tax professional for guidance.
