IRS Income Tax Form 1099-R
For income tax purposes, PBGC reports pension payment distributions to PBGC payment recipients on IRS Form 1099-R. PBGC's paying agent will mail this form to those who need it in January of each year.
If you should have received the 1099-R form for a payment made to you by PBGC for the most recent tax year but did not receive one, or if you no longer have the 1099-R form that was mailed to you, you should get a copy of the form before filing your tax return for the year.
For more information about Form 1099-R and instructions for its use, see the IRS Web site information.
