Retirement tax questions

I took a withdraw from my 401k, which I received a 1099R for.  It was put into an IRA, not a Roth IRA.  I only have a 5498 for the money being put into the IRA.  Shouldn't I be able to say it wasn't an early withdraw, but rather a transfer from one qualified plan to another?


Did you have a code 1, 2 or 7 in box 7?   The question would have been asked what did you do with the money.  And you should have indicated that you moved to another retirement account.

Or was it a code G?  Then there would not a question asked for what you did with the money since the code G is a rollover.
