According to Lee Krushinski, acting DFAS Operations Director, tax statements available through
myPay
are approved for use by the IRS and have several added benefits for
myPay
users.
“As long as a user has their log in information, they will never lose their tax statements,” Krushinski said. “The statements remain online to allow customers to view and print whenever it is convenient for them. Should they need copies later in the year, they are still available.”
Krushinski also pointed out the use of “restricted access PINs” allows users to have other family members, tax preparers or other trusted individuals view and print their tax statements without the ability to change any pay account information. This can be of particular interest to military members deployed overseas, retirees, annuitants, or anyone who uses commercial tax preparation services. The restricted access PIN can be established after logging into a customer’s
myPay
account.
myPay
is a secure Web-based pay information system. One of the many benefits of this system is avoiding risks associated with identity theft.
myPay
has a series of security measures with layers of defense against identity theft. The secure technology provided to
myPay customers meets or exceeds security requirements in private industry worldwide.
Using
myPay
to access tax statements eliminates the preparation and mailing costs incurred with the traditional distribution methods. Combined with the earlier availability of statements online, this makes
myPay
a better option for many DFAS customers and the Department of Defense.
If customers have forgotten their personal identification number (PIN) or wish to open a
myPay
account can do so on the
myPay
Web site.
