[Ritaxpronews] Rhode Island Division of Taxation -- Practitioner Alert

[Downing, Neil (DOR)]

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation this afternoon issued the following Practitioner Alert:
The Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island (ERSRI) recently advised its members that the Form 1099-R they received for tax year 2015 inadvertently omitted certain information and should be discarded. The agency said it would mail each member an updated Form 1099-R for tax year 2015, containing all of the necessary information, no later than February 1.

The correct version of the form will include all of the following:


?  The federal tax identification number for the Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island;

?  State income tax withholding for 2015 (if state income tax withholding was elected);

?  The return mailing address of the Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island; and

?  An account number in the bottom right-hand corner of the form.

Members also may view and print the correct version of the Form 1099-R by logging into their account at the ERSRI website, http://www.ersri.org<http://www.ersri.org/>. Those with questions may call the agency at (401) 462-7600.
