Retirement tax questions

You'll receive a Form 1099-R reporting this as a distribution.  You have 60 days following receipt of the distribution to roll the funds back into the 401(k) or to an IRA to avoid the distribution being taxable income (although it still must be reported on your tax return).  If it's been more than 60 days, the deadline to do a rollover has passed.
