I moved out of US in 2014 and closed my 410K account. I had zero earnings that year. 401k money was less than $44k, can i file returns using 1099R and get tax returns?

[azizshariq]

I have not filed tax returns for 2014, can i file now using just 1099R as i do not have W2 as well

[SweetieJean]

You closed it in 2014?

[azizshariq]

yes, i closed it in 2014

[bine22]

were you in the US on a visa? Which one and from when to when?

[azizshariq]

Yes Bine. I was on L1 visa from 2010 to 2012.

Since you weren't in the US in 2014 and thus were a nonresident alien, you would need to file a form 1040NR which is not supported by Turbotax.

Thanks Bine. I will try to find a Tax consultant and file asap. i am just waiting for 1099R from the year which i had not received before.

If your only income for 2014 was a 401(k) withdrawal, you are still required to file a tax return and report it.  All withdrawals from qualified plans are subject to regular income tax, and if you were under age 55, you will also be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty.  If you had money withheld from the withdrawal and it was not enough to cover the tax, you will owe more; but if it was more than the tax you would get a refund.

To file a 2014 tax return using Turbotax you will need to purchase Turbotax for 2014 and install it on your own computer.  See the bottom of the Turbotax main page and look for "past year products."
