Tips of the Trade
Don't forget, beginning Jan. 1, 2010, Microsoft is discontinuing security updates for its Windows 2000 operating system. As a result, Scottrade will no longer be able to offer support for this operating system.
To determine which operating system you currently use, do the following:
1. Left click on the Start button in the lower left hand corner of the screen.
2. Left click on "Run".
3. Type in "winver".
4. Left click on "OK" to view a pop-up window displaying your current operating system.

Go Green with Online Tax Forms
You trade online, and now you can get your tax forms online too. With Scottrade's new paperless tax form system, you can sign up to have your tax forms delivered electronically rather than through the mail.
Inside your Scottrade account, simply choose the My Account tab, click My Information & Preferences from the left navigation, and then select Account Preferences. Under Account Documents Delivery Settings where it says "Receive Tax Statements by", choose Electronic Delivery.
Why go paperless?
1. Security. Your tax forms are delivered safely and securely inside your Scottrade account.
2. Accessibility. You can access your tax forms from anywhere you can access your Scottrade account.
3. Reliability. No more digging through the file cabinet! Your tax forms will be there when you need them, now and in the future. Scottrade will keep the last 7 years of tax forms online for you.
For more information about your tax forms and going green, please contact your local branch office.
