Received A 1099 From Berkshire Bank?

If you received a 1099 from Berkshire Bank from Pittsfield, MA, and you were wondering if you had an account there, the confusion is probably due to an acquisition. Berkshire Bank acquired Beacon Federal last October. So if you had an account at Beacon Federal (like its reward checking account), you probably received a 1099 from Berkshire. One reader emailed me about this.
