LACERS 1099-R MAILINGS
LACERS mails 1099-R tax documents to retirees and beneficiaries
for the previous tax year on or before February 1 in
accordance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules. 1099-Rs can
also be viewed and printed inside MyLACERS
accounts. Please note that 1099-Rs are only sent to the address
on file with LACERS.
If you have recently moved or changed your address, you can
update your address online inside your MyLACERS
account. If you do not have a MyLACERS account or if you
live outside of the country, you may fill out a Change of Address form with
your new information and submit it through the Secure Document Upload. Update it with
LACERS as soon as possible, address changes made before the
12th of the month are effective immediately. Those
made on or after the 12th of the month are effective on
the 1st of the following month.

Requests for Duplicate 1099-R
If you did not receive your 1099-R in the mail, you can view and
print your 1099-R inside your MyLACERS
account. If you do not have a MyLACERS
account, the earliest you may request a duplicate 1099-R to
be mailed to you is the second week of February.
TAX FORM 1095-B AND FORM 1095-C
Please be aware that you may receive one or more forms providing
information about the health care coverage that you had or were
offered in the previous year.
Most retirees will receive a Form 1095-B which is sent to them
directly from either the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) or their health plan carrier through LACERS (i.e.,
Kaiser Permanente or Anthem Blue Cross). Some retirees may
receive both a Form 1095-B and Form 1095-C if they retired within
the last year; one will reflect their LACERS coverage and one
their City of Los Angeles coverage while working.
Please do not contact LACERS if you do not receive your
Form(s) as LACERS does not generate or have access to
them. You may request a duplicate directly from your
health insurance carrier.
For questions about using Forms 1095-B and 1095-C to file your
taxes, please consult with your tax advisor or the IRS.
