Form 1099-R is an IRS form that reports distributions from retirement and profit-sharing plans, IRAs, insurance contracts, pensions, and annuities.
Although railroad retirement pensions are reported on Form RRB-1099-R and civil service retirement annuities are reported on either Forms CSA-1099-R or CSF-1099-R, all of these are considered to be 1099-R forms.
