2018 Federal Income Tax Withholding Tables Available Revised federal income tax withholding tables have been released and will go into effect on your February 2018 benefit payment. Access the federal withholding calculator to estimate your tax withholding based on the 2018 tables.
Contact a qualified tax advisor or the Internal Revenue Service at (800) 829-1040 to ensure your current filing status will be adequate for the 2018 tax year. If you would like to change your withholding election, you must complete a new W4-P. A new W4-P replaces any former withholding form on file with JRS. You can mail or fax your completed form to JRS at (217) 524-9039. We do not recommend you email any document that contains your Social Security number since email is not considered a secure transmission. |

JRS Member Services Website Offers Income Verification Letters If you receive pension or survivor annuity payments from JRS, you can now view and print your own income verification letters from the secure Member Services website. The letters can be found in the Member Services section of your online account. Members often use these letters for loan applications, cell phone discounts, and other financial needs. If you are not yet registered for online access, you can sign up for an Illinois Public Account by clicking on the Retiree/Survivors link at the top of the page. Register by completing the ‘Create a New Account’ form. You will receive a confirmation email to complete registration. Once you confirm the email, you are ready to sign in. The Accessing the Member Services Website brochure contains additional instructions. Note: If you receive an excess benefit, you will need to contact JRS directly (217-782-8500) to request an income verification letter. Our IT staff is currently working on improving this functionality for members who receive multiple benefits. |
