Your Tax Statement is Available in MyNYSTRS

Dear Recipient:

Your 1099-R tax statement for calendar year 2019 earnings is being mailed to you and will arrive in your mailbox by Jan. 31. 

You can, however, access it online now with a secure MyNYSTRS account. To access your statement online, log in to MyNYSTRS and click 1099 Forms in the My Retirement tab. If you don't already have a MyNYSTRS account, register for yours today.

The 1099-R shows your gross benefit amount, the taxable amount and any federal tax withheld. Tax statements from previous years are also available online in MyNYSTRS. 

Should you wish to change your withholding amount, visit the W-4P Withholding Election page in the Tools tab of MyNYSTRS. Alternatively, you can change your withholding by submitting a completed W-4P Withholding Election and Certificate (FIN-149) form.

If you have questions about your 1099-R or if you don't receive your form by Jan. 31, contact NYSTRS at (800) 348-7298, Ext. 6120. Please Note: Questions about individual tax liabilities should be directed to a certified tax professional or the IRS.
