Retirement tax questions

Carl comment is referring to a transfer of one IRA to another, not to the movement of a 401(k).  If either the old employer's plan or the new employer's plan was really a 401(k), a Form 1099-R is *required* to be issued by the old employer's plan and is required to be reported on your tax return.  Are you sure that these were 401(k) plans?

If either plan is a 401(k) plan, contact the old plan administrator to obtain the missing Form 1099-R.
