Hi,
I worked with some employer A only for few days and left the company in 2013. I moved the address and no emails are forwarded to my new address. Today i found from my current retirement services that there is some cheque waiting for me and they were unable to send it to my old address and requested to update my addresss over the phone . I did it and they mentioned cheque will be mailed to me within 10 days. I asked 401k should be moved to new account once employee leaves or will it be sent as a cheque? they mentioned because of some limit on the account they cannot continue the account and they already withheld the IRS amount and paid IRS and tried to send me 1099R(to my old address iam unaware of).
Without this knowledge i was continuously filing tax returns every year until date. Today, It came as a surprise to me.
My question is since i didnt file 1099R from 2014 for that transaction will there be any issue? should i reach out to IRS and explain or just deposit it the cheque ? Please help me what can i do in this case.
