DFAS 1099-R ►   Obtaining Additional Copies

 

Military retirees and annuitants receive a 1099R tax statement either electronically via myPay or as a paper copy in their mail each year. Members can also request additional copies of their 1099R tax statements in several different ways. The fastest and most secure way to obtain a copy of your 1099R is myPay. Just login to myPay, and you can print your 1099R out in the comfort of your own home. Not a myPay user yet? Then the fastest and easiest way to get a copy of your 1099R besides myPay, is to use DFAS’s telephone self-service option. Telephone self service requests are logged instantly and are sent to your current address of record within three business days. Call 1-800-321-1080.
