You can forget about doing your taxes early with Charles Schwab. This company is the absolute worst in getting out your 1099. If you like filing your taxes early, look elsewhere. I've had to wait until March for these people to send out a 1099. Then try and get an appointment with a CPA that time of year to get your taxes done. Your looking at April or having to get an extension.

They were complacent in the theft of monies from my IRA accounts. While they eventually caught on preventing even more losses the reality is the thief's used immediate wire transfers to Kansas State Bank and Schwab missed it completely. 20 years with Schwab and never ever was a wire transfer requested. Now I am face with paying taxes on the stolen money at a higher tax bracket. Too many great investment houses for you to risk everything with Charles Schwab.

Transfers, withdrawals, and trades can be delayed or mishandled, with frequent documents requested repeatedly and no clear resolution.

The trading platform is complicated for beginners. Some services seem to have hidden fees

I've been with Schwab over 20 years. I don't recognize this bank as having my best interest anymore. Very sad. Threatened constantly to freeze card after buying from Walmart but a real fraud... let them post theft, even after I called 10 minutes after unauthorised fraud. I now have to wait 90 days while they attempt to contact criminals. The criminals have no location and i sent Schwab notifications of fraud on this company. If it were Wal-Mart, fraud prevention would not allow purchase, which I'd have to force. Then I'd get call to verify, letting me know they'll freeze my card. Where are the imbeciles in fraud prevention with real crooks. Think twice before signing with Schwab

Had setup a wire transfer a week ahead but, they did not send the wire transfer. After my call Charles Schwab sent the following day. Extremely disappointed with the service.

Small margins call of 1900.00 last week. Wired in 2k end of the week, settled today but with today’s drop, there was a small amount remaining after the Wire settled…so they liquidated $10,000 worth of a green position that was 3 months away from being a Long Term position. Even the Customer Service rep seemed a bit confused by their actions. Very unprofessional of the Brokerage and yet another reason for me to transfer out. Miss the old Scottrade days!

Schwab did an update on thinkorswim. It now no longer functions on my iPad my pi or my Mac. Multiple calls to tech-support have indicated that I need to a buy a new Mac, B do some sort of a crazy update that nobody could figure out or c. buy a new iPad. This is nuts! Nothing seems to work anymore on the system. They are managing the Ameritrade platform to death. What a shame!
