Tax Forms (1099)

How do I get a copy of my Fm 1099-R from the Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS)?

10 Apr 21

 The easiest way to get the Fm 1099-R covering your military retirement income for the current tax year is by having a MyPay account with DFAS. With a MyPay account you can log into your account and just download the form yourself. In addition, MyPay allows you to change the amount you have withheld for both Federal and State taxes, print a copy of your Retiree Account Statement (RAS), set up beneficiaries for Arrears of Pay, update your mailing and e-mail address, etc.

If you don’t have a MyPay account, DFAS provides other options for getting your Form 1099-R. For retirees, if your mailing address on file with DFAS is current, you can get a copy of your 1099-R through the DFAS telephone self-service option. Using this method, your 1099-R should be in the mail within 7-10 business days to the address DFAS has on record. To use telephone self-service:

• Call 800-321-1080

• Select option “1” for Self-Serve

• Select option “1”

• Enter your Social Security Number when prompted

If the address you have on file with DFAS is out of date and you are not a MyPay user, both retirees and annuitants can get your 1099-R sent to a one-time, temporary mailing address, or to your mailing address on record, by submitting your request online. You can also request prior year 1099-Rs. Find instructions at (this link is case-sensitive): http://go.usa.gov/xPh7H  If you prefer traditional mail, you can send DFAS a written request by fax or mail, but please make sure you leave time for processing. It can take up to 30 days to process requests received by fax or mail. Members with unique situations can speak directly to customer care representatives at 800-321-1080.
