OP&F highlights online access to tax forms

The most secure way to receive important tax information from OP&F, such as the annual Form1099-R, is to use the Member Self-Serve portal of the OP&F website. In addition to being secure, it is the most convenient method of receiving the form.

OP&F’s website allows members to download the Form 1099-R for tax reporting purposes and avoid receiving the form in the mail. This feature not only saves the cost of mailing the form but it is also environmentally friendly, secure and most expedient.

Members can access the Form 1099-R from their OP&F Member Self-Serve account. The Form 1099-R can be viewed and printed from the Member Documents link.

Only OP&F members who have a Member Self-Serve account can retrieve and print tax forms online. To register, go to op-f.org and click the link for Log In, in the upper right corner. Next, look for the Members link to register and follow the instructions on the screen.

OP&F recommends logging into the Member Self-Serve system on or after Jan. 31 to confirm all Form 1099-Rs have been issued.
