It's a form for Taxes...it's not for FINRA, the SEC, or the brokers, or even the MMs. It's for the IRS.

Just as an employer gives you a W-2 for your year's salary (and also hands a copy of that to the IRS), this form is collected by the company so that they can report to the IRS how much they gave you for a dividend. That way the IRS knows how much to tax you on it.

It's the right step for this company to do things legitimately, tax-wise.

I've filled out several of these forms from various companies when I make affiliate sales of their products/services in my business.
