I have some stock certificates I'd like to cash in. What would the average brokerage place charge for this?

Also, will they take out the taxes, or just issue me a 1099-R and I file them myself?

Call and ask, since you'll probably want to / have to do it in person. I think Schwab is at least $50 since it isn't an automated trade.

They'll probably just do the 1099, but again, ask.
