1099 R Form 2017

What is the IRS 1099-R Form?

The plan administrator or the payer should report the 1099-R Form if a distribution of more than $10 is made for a retirement plan. This issue should be sent to the recipient of the disposal as well as to the IRS when it’s tax season. The payee should include the amounts from this paper to the personal income return and pay accordingly.

Annuities and benefits are usually paid upon retirement, disability, or due to the death of an employee. Payments intended for social security and health insurance should not be noted in a Form 1099 R. This data should be reported on payroll statements and the Form W-2.
