Roth 401 (k) holders under age 59 1/2 are also subject to the 10% tax when taking distributions. But if you’re over 59 1/2 years old, you can make withdrawals without incurring penalties. You only owe the typical 401 (k) tax at retirement at this point.
Do you have to report your 401k to the IRS?
In this case, the IRS will use your 1099-R from your previous employer and the W-2 from your new employer (or form 5498 from your new IRA) to cross-reference the indirect rollover on your 1040. You would report your 401 (k) on your taxes, but you won’t pay a 401 (k) contribution tax.
