Sallie Mae Bank 2010 IRS 1099
Sallie Mae Bank (3 stars)SallieMae is distributing its 2010 1099s electronically via its Website. The customer service rep informed me that they do not intend to distribute them by postal mail.
In principle, I don't have much of a problem with this myself, but it was very difficult to print out the form, even when I tried to follow the very cursory and non browser specific instructiions SLM Bank provided. The bank did not provide the 1099 in PDF or another easily printable format. Printing directly from a browser failed for me using both Firefox and Chrome (print truncated critical parts of the page). Ultimately, I was able to capture an image of the 1099 using Windows 7's cutting tool, save it as a PNG image, view the saved file using IfranView, and print from IrfanView.
Thought this might be of use to others who might face the same problem. Pretty clearly, the process has no business being this involved.
