So I left my job at Philly 911 after 4 years, and they sent me a 1099-R

The 1099-R says there's 7900 in the account.

 

It says code 1 early distribution.

 

Box 4 says they will take 20% taxes if I do nothing they take $1580!

 

So that leaves $7900 - 1580 = 6320.

 

If I do nothing does Philly send me a check, or do I get $6320 as a refund?

 

Exactly how would I rollover the whole amount to somewhere to avoid paying the 20%

 

Can I open some kind of new IRA account somewhere to roll it over to?

 

Or do I somehow roll it over to Baltimore City, my new employer?

 

Thank  you!
