Depending on the dates of your trading activity last year, you may receive more than one Form 1099 from Robinhood. If you traded cryptocurrencies last year, you may also receive an additional Form 1099 from Robinhood Crypto, LLC. Here is how to know which forms you will receive:

• Apex IRS Form 1099: If you had a taxable event (for example, you sold equities or options, received a referral stock, or received dividends) last year from our former clearing partner, Apex Clearing Corp (“Apex”), you will receive a Form 1099.

• Robinhood Securities IRS Form 1099: If you had a taxable event last year, you will receive a Form 1099 from Robinhood Securities, LLC, our in-house clearing platform.

• Robinhood Crypto IRS Form 1099: If you sold cryptocurrencies last year, you will receive separate PDF and CSV files of your Form 1099 from Robinhood Crypto, LLC for crypto activity in 2020.

• Corrected Forms: If you received an updated or amended Form 1099 tax document, please make sure that you’ve filed your taxes in accordance with this updated information.This may require re-filing your taxes.

The best way to see which entity issued your tax documents is to check the top, left corner on the first page of your tax document.

Apex IRS Form 1099: This form will say Apex Clearing in the top, left corner of the first page.

Robinhood Securities IRS Form 1099: This form will say Robinhood Securities LLC in the top, left corner of the first page.

Robinhood Crypto IRS Form 1099: This form will say Robinhood Crypto LLC in the top, left corner of the first page, and the first page will be mostly blank.

The import experience will be slightly different for each type of 1099, mentioned in the above article. We will take you step-by-step for each tax document type here.

Apex Clearing Form 1099

1. After logging into TurboTax, navigate to the screen to start filling out the information for “Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other.”
2. During the process of filling out your 1099 form, you will be prompted to enter your bank name in a search bar.
3. Type “Apex” in the search bar and choose the Apex Clearing Corp company.
4. On the next screen, you will see fields to enter your Apex User ID and Apex password.
5. Apex User ID: the account number is on your Form 1099 document, which is an 8 digit alphanumeric number that starts with a 5, for example 5PY00000. You can find it in the top, middle of your tax document.
6. Apex Password: This is your SSN.

• Note: This form should say “Apex Clearing” in the top left corner of the form. If it says “Robinhood Securities LLC” in the top left corner, see the directions below.

7. You can directly import up to 1,500 transactions this way.

Robinhood Securities Form 1099

2. During this process, you will be prompted to enter your bank name in a search bar.
