My husbands mother passed away when he was a minor from cancer. She was unmarried at the time and he was beneficiary of her retirement. To this day, he gets a small monthly stipend/disability benefit, just as if he was the surviving spouse. He will receive this for the rest of his life, just as a spouse would. We have always received a 1099-R with Box 3 checked (disability). What do I answer on the question about the youngest age he could have retired? I am assuming that his mother would have to have been 55 for retirement (State of California employee) but because of this unique situation - I am no sure what to write. Am assuming its all taxable until he reaches retirement age so until then it doesnt really matter?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
The box 7 code might be wrong, Payments to beneficiaries should have a code 4.
The age question only applies to the employee (owner of the plan).
Ask the plan administrator.
