Retirement tax questions

Thank you for your quick reply!  So you mean I can take after-tax funds from a regular savings account and put that into a new roll-over account? I guess those savings account funds can be considered the pre-tax loan funds that came out of the 401k last year so that does make sense that that's a roll-over even though it's not direct.  Ok, I'll try that. 

I'm looking at the IRA deposit form that Ameritrade sent me and it only has these items available:

-  Traditional Contribution

-  Roth Contribution

-  SEP Employer Contribution

-  SIMPLE Contribution

-  Direct Rollover

-  60-Day Rollover

-  Direct Transfer

-  COVID-19 Repayment

-  Roth Conversion

So maybe Ameritrade doesn't have the ability to accept the kind of rollover you're talking about.

Thank you for your help and I will definitely be applying for an extension.

Yes, it doesn't matter where the money comes from.  Anything you put into a rollover IRA up to the amount of the code M distribution will count as a rollover.

 

It looks like "60 day rollover" is the closest to being correct.  If they can't understand that "60 day rollover" includes the special provision in the case of a loan after termination, then find another plan to accept the rollover.
