      I am trying to get a corrected 1099-R for the 2023 tax year. I received a 1099-R from the company the first week in March (IRS states that they must be mailed by 1/31). The form was incorrect in that it showed no withholding for federal or state taxes. I called up and was told that it would take 2-5 business days to investigate. After 5 business days I started calling daily for updates. After 3 weeks of daily promises for an update, found out that the person creating the form had entered the withholding percentages as 0.15% and. ******% instead of the correct number of 15% and 4.25%. I received an updated 1099-R, but this time, they calculated the withholding off of the wrong gross dispersal ($450 too little) so the taxes withheld were wrong again. A week later, (again after escalating daily phone calls), I received another 1099-R, but this time, it had the wrong gross dispersion (off by a factor of 10 due to a decimal place error) and was for the wrong year (2022). It also had no withholding shown on it. I found out that they closed the case file with the issuance of a new 1099- R, so Im starting over again, and will have issues filing my taxes for this year.I have called so many times and dealt with their offshore people and escalated onshore associates that I can recognize people by the sound of their voice. I have escalated multiple times to a supervisor and have been told multiple times I would get a call back by COB that day. Of the 15+ times that I have been told this, I have only received one call back stating that the tax department was still working on it.

      Scammers My parents bought funeral insurance. For anybody thinking about this...its a bad idea. First, most beneficiaries won't even know its there so it will never be called. Second, its basically a very low to no interest rate account. And third, when my mom passed away, they want to pay the funeral home directly. Our funeral home charges will be less than what my parents put in the account. I think ********************************************* offers this so that they can hold on to the remaining money. Most people wouldn't know to ask for the rest of it.
