Decrease mail in your mailbox; Keep important documents safe in myPay

From the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) website

You are receiving this message because one or more of your 2021 tax statements will be mailed in hardcopy form (paper) but it’s not too late to make the switch in your myPay account to electronic-only delivery!

By changing your statements to electronic-only you get 24/7 access and immediately add a layer of protection to your personal information by keeping these forms securely accessible in myPay, not in the mailbox outside your home.

Switching statements from hardcopy to electronic is simple and FAST:

1) Log into myPay at https://mypay.dfas.mil

2) Select “Turn On/Off Hard Copy Statements” on the left-hand menu

3) Slide the bar(s) to the left

4) Logout of myPay

Now that you’ve made the switch, your important documents such as 1099R tax statements, IRS Form 1095 healthcare verification and other correspondence from us will stay securely accessible within your myPay account without the risk of loss via mail.

Important deadlines to change 2021 forms from hardcopy to electronic:

– Please change Form 1099R before December 9

– Please change IRS Form 1095 before December 31

Now is also a good time to make sure your myPay profile information such as email addresses and phone numbers is up to date. You can also look over your Beneficiary of Arrears information or adjust your state and federal tax withholding.
