Distributions from a plan that are made in 2009 or later years and that are § 404(k) dividends must be reported on a Form 1099-R that does not report any other distributions, in accordance with the instructions to the form. Accordingly, if there are other distributions from the plan in such years that are not § 404(k) dividends, they must be reported on a separate Form 1099-R. It is anticipated that the instructions will require a special code in box 7 of the form to indicate the special tax treatment and rollover restrictions applicable to § 404(k) dividends. Payments of § 404(k) dividends made directly from the corporation to the plan participants or their beneficiaries are reported on Form 1099-DIV in accordance with the instructions to that form.
