Answer 1/1 - Submitted 1/20/2009

The distribution from the 401k will be reported to you on a 1099-R, it is also reported to the IRS.

To file your income tax you use a 1040 line 16 a & b. If the dependents are yours to claim do it. If you are under 59& 1/2 you will not only have ordinary income tax line 44 but a 10% penalty line 59 some times you need to attach a 5329.
