More Information About Your Taxes

Your 1099-R summarizes your gross benefit, taxable income and any federal tax withheld. You will need this form to complete your 2025 income tax return.

Your NYSTRS pension is not subject to New York state tax but is subject to federal tax. If you live outside New York state, the tax laws of your state apply. For more information and resources, go to the Taxes & Estate Planning page. 

Questions about individual tax liabilities, however, should be directed to a certified tax professional or the IRS, not NYSTRS staff.

If you have not received your tax statement by early February, call us at 800-348-7298, ext. 6120.
