Your 1099-R Form includes:

• the total gross distribution,
• the total taxable amount,
• and the total tax withheld,
  

of your FPPA retirement benefit income.

Before Your Form Arrives
You may view a data only version of your 1099-R information on the Member Account Portal (MAP). The data only version is NOT a copy you can use for IRS tax filing purposes. It is only a snap-shot of the data you will see on the actual 1099-R Form we will mail to you.

If you have not registered for MAP, creating an account takes just minutes. To get started, review and/or download these easy to follow instructions.

The 1099-R Form example below is a sample of what will be mailed to you for reporting your FPPA retirement benefit income to the IRS. Please allow two weeks from the mailing date, January 31, 2023, before contacting FPPA to request a reprint.

Please also note, as stated elsewhere on this page, that all necessary 1099-R form information can be downloaded on the Member Account Portal (MAP), if used for filing taxes electronically.

Understanding Your 1099-R Form
