<prompt> Human: I am almost to my goal of dropping 50k into investing via Vanguard. I figured Id go ahead and drop the 32k I have into investing and let it help build me up to that 50k as Ill hit that goal by next year. Im a definite know-nothing investor, but I have read enough from here and online in general to know I want to use Vanguard, I want an index fund and probably a retirement investment of some sort, and I am aaalmost to that 50k goal to drop down so I can start off taking advice from financial advisors there in Vanguard. My question is, does Vanguard translatetransfer over on your taxes the same way you link your bank to tax services like turbotax? Im not a tax whiz, and dont really have many assets in terms of owning my own home and stuff, but I do my own taxes every year and want to know what Im getting into in that aspect. Thanks! Edit: Thank you to everyone who responded. Very relieved to hear this is going to be an easy transition tax wise.  <response>: Vanguard will provide you with a 1099-DIV for dividends and capital gain distributions andor a 1099-B for capital gains losses as appropriate each year. Youll enterimport these into your tax software the same as you would any similar 1099.
