Legal Question in Tax Law in California
Investment clubs
Myself and family members recently started a investment club. We collect dues every month and buy stocks. If we sell a stock we reinvest and buy more stock, our stocks do not pay dividends. We received a 1099 and my question is, is do we need to file taxes?

Yes ... you should have a tax ID number for the club, and be filing a 1065 partnership return. Then you need to distribute the prorata share of profits and losses to the members.
