| How Do I Get My 1099-r From Florida Retirement System |
Gone Postal? Or Inbox Incoming?
The Florida Retirement System (FRS) is pretty good about getting your 1099-R to you by late January every year. But how it arrives depends on your preferences.
- Team Snail Mail: If you haven't signed up for electronic delivery, you'll get a good old-fashioned paper copy sent straight to your mailbox. Patience is a virtue, my friend.
- Team Inbox: For the tech-savvy retiree, FRS offers electronic delivery. Sign up in your secure FRS Online account under "delivery preference" and voila! Your 1099-R will be waiting for you like a virtual tax party invitation.
But what if you haven't gotten it by, say, mid-February? Don't panic! Here's what to do:
- Check your spam folder: Sometimes those pesky tax forms like to hide out in the digital shadows.
- Log in to FRS Online: Even if you haven't signed up for electronic delivery, you might still be able to access your 1099-R there.
- Give FRS a call: Their friendly customer service folks can be reached at 1-866-446-9377. Be prepared to unleash your inner detective skills and answer some verification questions.
Remember: The key is to stay calm and tax on (see what I did there?).
