We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Do I need to claim a $1200 401k loan that I pay back automatically through my paycheck? Will I receive any tax forms I should wait for before filing?

No. Repayment of a 401K loan or other qualified plan loan is not reportable to the IRS and is between you and your plan administrator.

The only time it becomes a reportable event is if you fail to repay or leave your job. At that point, the balance of the loan is considered a distribution that is taxable and possibly subject to a 10% penalty.
