1099-R and the hardship withdrawal


Recommended Posts

Posted

Box # 7 on a 1099-R (Distribution Code) should be coded a 1 (Early Distribution) for a hardship withdrawal... correct? Even if the hardship was distributed on account of the participant's disability, box #7 should NOT be coded a 3 (Disability). Can somebody please confirm this for me? Thanks!

That's the way I've always done it.

The participant would have the documentation for the disability claim when the taxes are prepared.

That's what I say. I think the participant thinks he can get out of the 10% early withdrawal penalty by saying it should be disability. Thanks for your help.
