Retirement tax questions

A code 2 indicates that there is no penalty.      It seems a bit early for the IRS to send a letter for 2019 since the due date just passed.   Are yiu sure that it is for 2019 and not 2018 (2018 letters are being sent now usually a year after the close of the tax year.)

 

Look at your 1040 line 4 a & 4b.   The box 1 amount should be on 4b.  Your total AGI on line 8a  and that taxable amount after the deduction on line 11b.    If 11b is non-zero then there is a taxable amount.
