IRS Form 1099-R Frequently Asked Questions

 

Taxes and Your Retirement Benefit

Your TRS retirement benefit is considered income for tax purposes.  The tax rates applied to your benefit are based on withholding tables provided by the Internal Revenue Service and the Oklahoma Tax Commission.  The Oklahoma tax withholding tables will not change for 2019; however, recently signed federal legislation will change the federal tax withholding tables beginning with your benefit deposit on February 1, 2019.

If you wish to change your withholding submit a new Tax Withholding form. This form can be found on our website at http://www.ok.gov/TRS/Forms  Please seek advice from your tax professional for guidance related to changing your tax withholdings.

 

 

2019 Retiree Health Insurance Rates (Employees Group Insurance Division)

If you have retiree health insurance premiums through the Employees Group Insurance Division (EGID) deducted from your TRS benefit, be aware that EGID has adopted a change in 2019 health insurance premium rates. For more information on the 2019 rate changes, visit the EGID website at https://omes.ok.gov/services/employees-group-insurance-division. TRS cannot answer questions related to 2019 rate changes or coverage. If you have specific questions about your coverage, please contact EGID at 1-800-752-9475.

 

Post-Retirement Employment and HB 1023XX

The short answer is “no” but this is a good time to talk about options.
