First I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.
I had an old 401k I left with my former employer. They were bought out. The new company sent me a notice to move the funds. I faxed some paper work to then I needed signed so I could put the funds in my current companies plan.
I never heard back from them. Due to unforseen circumstances I forgot about the account.
This month I got two items in the mail. One is a 1099 form from them regarding the former 401k. The 1099 was for the whole amount no taxes withheld. The second is the new account where the money was deposited.
The amount was for over $6000. Do I have any recourse, or am I stuck with a big tax bill.
Thank you,
Jim
