Retirement tax questions

Any distribution from the pension plan is reportable on Form 1099-R and on your tax return, but rolling the entire gross amount over to an traditional IRA will make it nontaxable.  (Only a trustee-to-trustee of an IRA to another IRA of the same type, traditional or Roth, is nonreportable.  A pension plan is not an IRA.)  Being nontaxable income, it won't affect ACA PTC.

 

As HACKITOFF said, done by direct rollover to a traditional IRA no tax withholding is required.  A direct rollover will be reported with code G in box 7 of the Form 1099-R.
