Retirement tax questions

If you receive a 1099-R with a code M in box 7 then the box 1 amount will be taxable income to you unless you can replace that money with other funds and roll it into a Traditional IRA before the due date (including extensions) of the tax return for the year on the 1099-R.     You must instruct the IRA custodian that this is a 1099-R code M rollover for them to allow the contribution.
