Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello, Unless the 401k plans are with a former employer, I do not know how you have managed to default on your 401k loans as the payments are usually deducted from your paycheck.

 

However, if you default on a 401k loan with a former employer, the 401k loan will be treated as a withdrawal. You will receive a Form 1099R from the plan, and will be required to pay taxes on the amount in the current year and possibly incur a 10% penalty on the early withdrawal from a 401k. 

 

Here is a resource that you may find helpful.
