Retirement tax questions

Hi Todd:

 

1.  Fidelity put the money into a retail account. 

2.  Fidelity took the 20% taxes out of the withdrawal and sent it to the IRS.

3.  Because Fidelity took 20% out for taxes, we could not rollover all of the 401K money to the IRA.  We rolled over the entire amount minus 20% for taxes.

4.  We did the withdrawal in June, 2020 and within 6 days we rolled it over to the IRA. 

5.  What is the meaning of the IRS giving taxpayers 60 days within which to rollover a 401K withdrawal into an IRA?

6  I clicked on Forms in TT, but it is not going to the 1040.  It went directly to the 1099-R form.

 

I have used TT for 21 years.  I always pay for Audit Defense and the right to contact a TT tax expert.  However, there is an excessive 1 hour wait to talk to TT.
