About Your Duplicate Income Tax Statement

The Duplicate Income Tax Statement is a copy of the tax statement issued by the RRB. This statement details payments made to you for the requested tax year. You will receive a general information letter with explanations of items in the statement. Your statement will be mailed to the address we have on record.

The box labeled DUPLICATE will be checked to indicate a "duplicate" Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) tax statement. If you need a duplicate tax statement for any tax year, you should contact your nearest RRB field office or request one online using the RRB Online Services Request page.

The box labeled CORRECTED will be checked to indicate a "corrected" RRA tax statement. If you need a corrected tax statement for any tax year, you should contact your nearest RRB field office.

Duplicate of Corrected: Both boxes will be checked to indicate a "duplicate of a corrected" RRA tax statement.

Tax Year: The tax year the tax statement represents will be printed.

NOTE: The appropriate TXL letter (TXL-1099, TXL-1042S, or TXL-1099-R) explaining the box items shown on the tax statement will be released with the duplicate or corrected tax statement.
