What is Form 1099-R?

Form 1099-R is the IRS information return used to report money paid out of a retirement account — pension or annuity payments, IRA distributions, 401(k) withdrawals, rollovers and certain death or disability benefits. The payer completes it, but small plan administrators, financial firms and even individuals issuing a distribution often need to fill the form by hand. The distribution code in Box 7 and the taxable-amount boxes drive how the recipient is taxed, so accuracy matters. JustFill lets you complete the 1099-R online so the boxes and codes are clear before you file with the IRS and furnish the recipient copy.

Payer information

Name, address and TIN of the plan, custodian or company making the distribution.

Recipient information

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Using the wrong Box 7 distribution code, which can wrongly trigger an early-withdrawal penalty for the recipient.

  • 3Mismatching the recipient TIN, which causes IRS matching notices.
