1099-R Tax Forms
In late January 2026, TRS will mail 1099-R forms to those who received one or more payments from TRS during 2025. This form is crucial for reporting the TRS payments you received during the prior calendar year to the IRS. If you are a nonresident alien, TRS will send you a 1042-S form instead, which will be mailed by mid-March 2026. A copy of your form will also be available in the MyTRS online member portal by Jan. 31. For more details, check out the 1099-R and 1042-S page on the TRS website.
