1099R

[jm6231]

I took a cash distribution from one of my 401K's and received direct deposit into my bank account on May 11, 2021.  I was thinking I could claim this as income on my 2020 return since I have not filed yet.  I will not receive a 1099R until next January.  Is there any way I can claim this as income on my 2020 return?

The 401(k) distribution made in 2021 can only be reported on your 2021 tax return filed next year.
