This is for year 2021.

I changed jobs in 2021. I asked the administrator for the new company is January to return the excess (all of the $s put in 401K in new company was excess as I exceeded from contribution made with first company)

I plan to just put this refund as income as recommended here when filing for taxes this month

 

Now to the question.. How do I ask for the company match back from my 401k administrator 

 

Thanks

 


You should have received a 1099-R in Jan 2022 with the returned amount no later then JAN  31, 2022 to report this .  If you did not then contact the plan administrator.

 

(The company match is taken care of with the company and does not affect your tax.)
