Retirement tax questions

It depends. If the taxes have already been withheld, the tax will be credited to your account as a tax payment with the IRS. If the distribution did occur, even though it was not required, you could still receive Form 1099-R and have to report that income.

 

I suggest consulting your financial planner for information about their particular method of reversing an unneeded RMD.

 

See this article for information about Reporting Form 1099-R.
