Will I get a tax form for sale of direct purchased stock (US)?
"I think I found the answer, at least in my specific case. From the heading ""Questar/Dominion Resources Merger"" in this linked website: Q: When will I receive tax forms showing the stock and dividend payments? A: You can expect a Form 1099-B in early February 2017 showing the amount associated with payment of your   shares. You also will receive a Form 1099-DIV by Jan. 31, 2017, with your 2016 dividends earned."
