Question

My employer marked the distribution code on my 1099-R as a 1 but it is actually a loan I am paying back over 5 years. Would that not be considered a code L &not taxable?

It sounds like your employer considered the money a distribution - you'll want to contact them and follow up. I would suggest filing an extension to give you more time to address this - you can go to
