Tax Documents

If you do not see a tax document in the tax documents section of the Carry website (you can access this by clicking your initials on the top right > Documents > Tax Documents), and you have not self-prepared the form, it is likely either not required if you did not have a transaction that requires the form be generated or is not yet due.
