L2: 72t from 401k transfer later to IRA?Thanks for the info Badger. One other question. Do I have to report the start of a 72t to the IRS? What form would I use or do I just do it and only worry if the IRS questions it or does a audit? Thanks again.2003-02-24 11:28, By: bonusmon, IP: [127.0.0.1]

You report nothing to the IRS; however, I would strongly encourage you to self-document your plan so you have later documentation should the IRS ever ask. Then, once a year, your trustee will send you a 1099R for the distribution amount. This is reported on your personal 1040, line 15. Further, your 1099R should have a reason code of “2” in it. If it does not, you would also need to file Form 5329 with your 1040.
