Contact your Teamsters Administrative Office, if you have questions regarding benefit determination, benefit eligibility, beneficiary information, or plan rules.

Q

Why did I get two tax filing documents (1099-R or 1042-S forms)?

There are several reasons why someone could receive two 1099-R forms. Below are the most common scenarios. 

  • If you have turned age 59 ½ during the tax year in question, you are considered normal age for retirement and your distribution code on your 1099-R form will become a "7." We are required to send two 1099-R forms to you and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to separately report the portion paid to you before age 59 ½ and the portion paid to you after age 59 ½.
  • If you have moved to a new state during the tax year in question, we are required to send two 1099-R forms to you and the IRS to separately report taxes according to your state residency.
Q

When will the tax filing documents be sent?

Your tax filing document (1099-R or 1042-S forms) will be mailed by January 31, following the tax year. For an example, your 1099-R form for 2013 will be sent out in January of 2014.
