When you sell something you get a form 1099-B. Since I didn't sell anything (I can't) I doubt I will get a 1099-B.
I have certificates and GM held some in book entry form. Book entry is a system of tracking ownership of securities where no certificate is given to investors.

Form 1099-B. If you sold property such as stocks, bonds, or certain commodities through a broker during the year, you should receive, for each sale, a Form 1099-B, Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, or an equivalent statement from the broker. You should receive the statement by February 15 of the next year. It will show the gross proceeds from the sale. The IRS will also get a copy of Form 1099-B from the broker.
