That depends on the code. For a detailed explanation of the distribution codes, please refer to the back side of the printed form or visit the IRS website .

Yes it does. Your 1099-R reports only the total amounts taken. It does not break them down based on type of distribution (RMD, cash withdrawal, rollover to name a few).

If you took a coronavirus-related withdrawal in 2020 under the CARES Act, then you can pay your tax liability in 2021, spread your tax payments over three years, or repay up to the full amount of your withdrawal to reduce your tax liability. If you want to repay up to the full amount of your withdrawal to reduce your tax liability, please call our CARES team at 855-400-4294 to speak with a consultant.

You can learn more by visiting the IRS website , and we encourage you to consult with a tax professional to plan for your unique situation.

If you have a required minimum distribution (RMD) due in 2021, you will get a 5498 in January. If you made contributions to your IRA for 2020 between January 1, 2020, and April 15, 2021, you will get a 5498 in May. If you completed a rollover or recharacterization in 2020, you'll also receive a 5498 in May. 
 
If you did not receive a 5498, please refer to your most recent statement for balance information.
