Form 1099-R Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service
Instructions for Recipient

Generally, distributions from pensions, annuities, profit-sharing 

and retirement plans (including section 457 state and local 

government plans), IRAs, insurance contracts, etc., are reported 

to recipients on Form 1099-R.

Qualified plans. If your annuity starting date is after 1997, you

must use the simplified method to figure your taxable amount if 

your payer did not show the taxable amount in box 2a. See the 

instructions for Form 1040 or 1040A.

IRAs. For distributions from a traditional individual retirement

arrangement (IRA), simplified employee pension (SEP), or savings

incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE), generally the payer 

is not required to compute the taxable amount. See the Form 

1040 or 1040A instructions to determine the taxable amount. If 

you are at least age 701⁄2, you must take minimum distributions 

from your IRA (other than a Roth IRA). If you do not, you may be 

subject to a 50% excise tax on the amount that should have been 

distributed. See Pub. 590 for more information on IRAs.

Roth IRAs. For distributions from a Roth IRA, generally the payer 

is not required to compute the taxable amount. You must

compute any taxable amount on Form 8606. An amount shown in 

box 2a may be taxable earnings on an excess contribution. If you 

converted or rolled over amounts to a Roth IRA from an eligible 

retirement plan in 2010, you generally include one half of the 

taxable amount in income in 2011 and the other half in 2012. See 

Form 8606.

Loans treated as distributions. If you borrow money from a

qualified plan, section 403(b) plan, or government plan, you may

have to treat the loan as a distribution and include all or part of

the amount borrowed in your income. There are exceptions to this 

rule. If your loan is taxable, Code L will be shown in box 7. See 

Pub. 575.

Recipient's identification number. For your protection, this form 

may show only the last four digits of your social security number 

(SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), or adoption 

taxpayer identification number (ATIN). However, the issuer has 

reported your complete identification number to the IRS, and, 

where applicable, to state and/or local governments.

Account number. May show an account or other unique number 

the payer assigned to distinguish your account.

Box 1. Shows the total amount you received this year. The

amount may have been a direct rollover, a transfer or conversion

to a Roth IRA, a recharacterized IRA contribution; or you may

have received it as periodic payments, as nonperiodic payments,

or as a total distribution. Report the amount on Form 1040 or

1040A on the line for “IRA distributions” or “Pensions and

annuities” (or the line for “Taxable amount”), and on Form 8606,

as applicable. However, if this is a lump-sum distribution, see

Form 4972. If you have not reached minimum retirement age,

report your disability payments on the line for “Wages, salaries,

tips, etc.” on your tax return. Also report on that line permissible

withdrawals from eligible automatic contribution arrangements

and corrective distributions of excess deferrals, excess

contributions, or excess aggregate contributions except if you are 

self-employed.

 If a life insurance, annuity, qualified long-term care, or 

endowment contract was transferred tax free to another trustee or 

contract issuer, an amount will be shown in this box and Code 6 

will be shown in box 7. If a charge or payment was made against 

the cash value of an annuity contract or the cash surrender value 

of a life insurance contract for the purchase of qualified long-term 

care insurance, an amount will be shown in this box and Code W 

will be shown in box 7. You need not report these amounts on 

your tax return.

Box 2a. This part of the distribution is generally taxable. If there is 

no entry in this box, the payer may not have all the facts needed 

to figure the taxable amount. In that case, the first box in box 2b 

should be checked. You may want to get one of the free

publications from the IRS to help you figure the taxable amount.

See Additional information on the back of Copy 2. For an IRA

distribution, see IRAs and Roth IRAs above. For a direct rollover, 

other than from a qualified plan to a Roth IRA, zero should be 

shown, and you must enter zero (-0-) on the “Taxable amount” 

line of your tax return.

Form 1099-R (keep for your records) Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service
Instructions for Recipient (Continued)

 If this is a total distribution from a qualified plan and you were born 

before January 2, 1936 (or you are the beneficiary of someone born 

before January 2, 1936), you may be eligible for the 10-year tax 

option. See the Form 4972 instructions for more information.

Box 2b. If the first box is checked, the payer was unable to determine 

the taxable amount, and box 2a should be blank. If the second box is 

checked, the distribution was a total distribution that closed out your 

account. If you are an eligible retired public safety officer who elected 

to exclude from income distributions from your eligible plan used to 

purchase certain insurance premiums, the amount shown in box 2a 

has not been reduced by the exclusion amount. See the instructions 

for Form 1040 or Form 1040A for more information.

Box 3. If you received a lump-sum distribution from a qualified plan

and were born before January 2, 1936 (or you are the beneficiary of

someone born before January 2, 1936), you may be able to elect to

treat this amount as a capital gain on Form 4972 (not on Schedule D

(Form 1040)). See the Form 4972 instructions. For a charitable gift

annuity, report as a long-term capital gain on Schedule D.

Box 4. Shows federal income tax withheld. Include this amount on

your income tax return as tax withheld, and if box 4 shows an amount 

(other than zero), attach Copy B to your return. Generally, if you will 

receive payments next year that are not eligible rollover distributions, 

you can change your withholding or elect not to have income tax 

withheld by giving the payer Form W-4P.

Box 5. Generally, this shows the employee’s investment in the

contract (after-tax contributions), if any, recovered tax free this year;

the portion that is your basis in a designated Roth account; the part of 

premiums paid on commercial annuities or insurance contracts

recovered tax free; or the nontaxable part of a charitable gift annuity.

This box does not show any IRA contributions. If the amount shown is 

your basis in a designated Roth account, the year you first made

contributions to that account may be entered in the box next to box 

10.

Box 6. If you received a lump-sum distribution from a qualified plan

that includes securities of the employer’s company, the net unrealized 

appreciation (NUA) (any increase in value of such securities while in 

the trust) is taxed only when you sell the securities unless you choose 

to include it in your gross income this year. See Pub. 575 and the

Form 4972 instructions. If you did not receive a lump-sum distribution, 

the amount shown is the NUA attributable to employee contributions, 

which is not taxed until you sell the securities.

Box 7. The following codes identify the distribution you received. For

more information on these distributions, see the instructions for your

tax return. Also, certain distributions may be subject to an additional

10% tax. See the instructions for Forms 5329 and 8606.

1—Early distribution, no known exception (in most cases, under age

591⁄2).

2—Early distribution, exception applies (under age 591⁄2).

6—Section 1035 exchange (a tax-free exchange of life insurance,

earnings) taxable in 2010.

traditional IRA, SEP, or SIMPLE distribution.

Box 8. If you received an annuity contract as part of a

distribution, the value of the contract is shown. It is not taxable

when you receive it and should not be included in boxes 1 and 2a. 

When you receive periodic payments from the annuity contract, 

they are taxable at that time. If the distribution is made to more 

than one person, the percentage of the annuity contract

distributed to you is also shown. You will need this information if

you use the 10-year tax option (Form 4972). If charges were made 

for qualified long-term insurance contracts under combined 

arrangements, the amount of the reduction in the investment in 

the annuity or life insurance contract is reported here. 

Box 9a. If a total distribution was made to more than one person, 

the percentage you received is shown.

Box 9b. For a life annuity from a qualified plan or from a section

403(b) plan (with after-tax contributions), an amount may be

shown for the employee’s total investment in the contract. It is

used to compute the taxable part of the distribution. See Pub. 

575.

Boxes 10–15. If state or local income tax was withheld from the

distribution, boxes 12 and 15 may show the part of the

distribution subject to state and/or local tax.
