Year-end Pay Statements Scheduled

Service members and federal civilian employees paid by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service should receive their 2005 tax statements by mail soon, a DFAS official said. Most military retirees and annuitants already have received theirs, as the last hard-copies were mailed Dec. 31. Mailing of active-duty Army, Navy and Air Force W-2 forms begins Jan. 24, but members can access them on the “myPay” Web site starting Jan. 21. W-2 mailings for reservists from the Army, Navy and Air Force commenced Jan. 4, but the forms were to be online by Dec. 31. Active-duty and Reserve Marines can check their mailboxes after Jan. 12 or access their myPay accounts beginning Jan. 10. DoD civilians’ W-2s will be mailed beginning Jan. 10, and will be posted on myPay starting Jan. 9.
