I tell you how it works in my shitty eastern european country:

  • I get an email that my report is ready, I have to go to a website where I can see it.
  • After logging in I can see a list, where I worked last year, how much was paid, if I should pay anything more or I can get back something.
  • If everything is alright I can hit OK. If something is not right I can open an issue on the same website, but I never had to do that ever.

That's all. Usually takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process.

I thought it was crazy that the report had entry on how much money I lost with my investments and that was deducted in my taxes. I've never told them that I've traded stocks and still the tax man knows my money shit better than I do.

In the US, brokerage companies legally have to send you a Form 1099 which covers all investment income over the year. You then include this when submitting your taxes. They probably send a similar report to your government instead.
