Many federal retirees and annuitants have been waiting for weeks to receive their 1099-R form that reports their 2025 retirement income from their CSRS or FERS pensions.<\/p>\n
Last week, OPM reportedly<\/a> sent an email to federal retirees (who asked for a printed copy of their 1099p-R forms) that the paper form of those documents were being sent out the week of March 9, and would be delivered in 3-5 days. If retirees did not receive the form by March 18, they should email OPM\u2019s retirement services<\/a> at requests@opm.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n SEE ALSO:<\/p>\n Additionally, OPM\u2019s director Scott Kupor posted a message on X on March 10<\/a> stating:<\/p>\n As part of our digital-first customer support modernization at @USOPM, we notified annuitants starting in November of last year that 1099-R\u2019s can now be downloaded at http:\/\/servicesonline.opm.gov. While ~93% of our annuitants have downloaded their docs or received a mailed copy, we recognize that some of you have not yet received your physical copy. If you requested a mailed 1099-R, they are all going out this week. If you do not receive your copy by mid-next week, please email us at requests@opm.gov so we can make sure you are all set for tax filing season. Thanks.<\/p>\n Numerous federal retirees have been issuing complaints about weeks of delay in receiving necessary tax forms to file their 2025 income taxes \u2014 notably IRS From 1099-R<\/a> that reports the retirement pension distributions for CSRS and FERS.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n OPM recent years, OPM mailed the 1099-R forms by the end of January. But due to a policy change last year<\/a> to modernize its Retirement Service operations, federal retirees and annuitants who have an email address in their OPM online log-in account would only get a digital copy of the form 1099-R unless they specifically request the paper copy be mailed to them.<\/p>\n A letter on March 2 from a group of a group of Democratic lawmakers urged OPM to address the delays.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have heard from numerous constituents who still have not received their Form 1099-R or annuity statements, even after waiting well beyond the maximum two-week delivery window communicated by your staff,\u201d the House members wrote yesterday in the letter to to OPM<\/a> director Scott Kupor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many federal retirees and annuitants have been waiting for weeks to receive their 1099-R form that reports their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":532894,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[28,147,530],"class_list":["post-532893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=532893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/532893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=532893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=532893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=532893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kupor-1099-march-10-2016-x-post.png\")
