Retirement tax questions

The IRS only knows what is reported to them.   How what is the date of the check, oftentimes these checks are only good for like 90 days.   Your 1099-R says it is a rollover.   Rollover has no tax consequences.    The IRS does not know if you cashed the check or not.   The fact that you never rolled over the funds or cashed the check, I am not sure what happens going forward.   My suggestion is that you go back to the place that issued your check and talk with them.
