We took a disaster distribution in 2020; however, they did not provide a 1099-R for 21 and the site is requiring it.Prudential does not have a 1099R for us. Help!!!

We took a disaster distribution in 2020, a penalty-free withdrawal from Prudential-401k; however, they did not provide a 1099-R for 2021 and the website is requiring it. I just checked Prudential website again in the "forms" section of each of our accounts and it says there are no tax forms from 2021.

When you reported the 1099R for 2020 did you elect to spread the tax over 3 years?  Here is a prior answer from Don......

If you had a Covid-19 related distribution in 2020 and selected to spread the distribution over 3 years -

Answer No when asked if you received a Form 1099-R in 2021, if you did not receive the form

Answer Yes when asked if you took a disaster distribution

Answer Yes when asked if you took a Qualified 2020 Disaster Distribution

Check the box that this was a Coronavirus-related distribution reported in 2020

If the 2020 distribution was from an account that was Not an IRA

2020 Form 8915E Line 9 - Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 9

If the 2020 distribution was from an IRA account

2020 Form 8915E Line 17 -  Enter 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution in both boxes for Line 17

The 1/3 of the amount from the 2020 distribution will be entered on the 2021 Form 1040 Line 4b if from an IRA or on Line 5b if from a retirement plan other than an IRA

Or do you actually take a plan loan, rather than distribution?  If so, no 1099-R issued for that unless you default on repayment..

You did not do anything in 2021 and that's why there is not any 1099-R for 2021.
