TPApril Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Employee participated in 2 different company plans and ultimately exceeded 402(g) limit for the prior year. Excess deferral was distributed prior to 4/15 of the next year. Are there one or two 1099-R's reported? If there is one, I believe it is in year of distribution with Code P (referring to prior year). If there are two, in addition to the one above, one for the prior year with Code 8? Alternatively, is the W-2 corrected? Or as I believe, there is just one 1099-R issued for current year and in this case, employee provides tax preparer with letter describing the excess deferral distribution.
Lou S. Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Each plan that issues a refund for excess deferrals between 1/1/20xx+1 and 4/15/20xx+1 would issue a 1099-R in January of 20xx+2 for year 20xx+1 with code P indicating that the refund was taxable in year 20xx. No correction to the W-2 is required. Bill Presson and Luke Bailey 2
