Is there a legal deadline for when your bank/brokerage has to send your tax forms to you?
Many of the custodians (ie. Schwab) file for an extension on 1099s.  They file for an extension as many of their accounts have positions with foreign income which creates tax reporting issues.  If they did not file for extension they would have to send out 1099s at the end of January and then send out corrected forms.  Obviously sending out one 1099 is cheaper and less confusing to all.  Hope that helps,
