Why didn’t I receive a form in the mail?

  • If you earned less than $10 in dividends on your accounts in a tax year, you will not receive a 1099 tax form. Dividends earned can be found on your December 2023 statement. Please see a tax advisor for assistance.
  • If you are enrolled in eStatements, your tax forms will be available through WESTconsin Online. No paper form will be mailed. If you are unable to retrieve your electronic version of the form, you can stop in or call your local office.
  • If you do not receive a tax form by February 23, please contact us to request another copy.

Where is my refund?

  • The date in which funds from a pending deposit are made available in your account is determined by the originating company sending the deposit. The funds will be deposited on that specific date and are not able to be released early.
  • To check the status of your federal tax refund, visit irs.gov/refunds or call the IRS’s Refund Hotline at (800) 829-1954.

Know Your Numbers

When setting up Direct Deposit, electronic payments or electronic tax refunds, you’ll need to know certain numbers pertinent to your account. If you use an invalid or incorrect account number for electronic deposit of your tax refund it may be rejected and then the IRS will issue your tax refund as a check instead of attempting to deposit your funds electronically again.
