How do I designate an “Arrears of Pay” beneficiary?
how to get a 1044R for an annunitant?
Why is so difficult to get my 1099 from the OPM. I don’t use the password and the CSA everyday, I forgot the password and the CSA. I want my 1099 form so I can start with my income tax. I can not get it off the computer. I was wondering if you could send me my 1099 as soon as possible.
I did not receive a 1099 for retiree pay. I would like to do it on line, but my email address that may be connected, I do not have/remember. I tried calling, and only received guidance on getting one sent in the mail. I would like to do it online if possible.
