When will opm mail 1099 r for 2019

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) typically sends Form 1099-R to federal retirees and annuitants in January of each year, reporting the previous year's distributions. For the 2019 tax year, OPM is expected to mail Form 1099-R to eligible recipients in January 2020.

Here's a general timeline to expect:

• OPM typically begins processing and mailing Form 1099-R in late December or early January.
• Recipients can expect to receive their Form 1099-R by mid-January 2020, but it may take a few weeks for all forms to be mailed.
• If you're a federal retiree or annuitant, you can check your OPM account online to see if your Form 1099-R has been mailed. You can also contact OPM's Retirement Services Office at (888) 767-6738 for assistance.

Keep in mind that OPM may experience delays in processing and mailing Form 1099-R due to various factors, such as changes in tax laws or increased volume of requests. If you haven't received your Form 1099-R by mid-February 2020, you can contact OPM to inquire about the status of your form.

Remember to keep your Form 1099-R safe and accurate, as it will be used to report your federal retirement benefits on your tax return.
