I did a quick google search - sounds like this might be your situation.

Code L: Loans treated as deemed distributions under section

What is a Deemed Distribution? A deemed distribution occurs when the participant violates the terms of the 401k participant loan (e.g., loan amount, the loan term, and the repayment schedule). ... Lastly, a deemed distribution is not eligible for rollover to an IRA or another qualified plan such a a solo 401k plan

But up to $6,000 of "repayments" could be a current year IRA contribution. If you put too much into the IRA, you've got an excess contribution.

The more I know, the more I don't know.

THANK YOU FOR REPLYING, THE IRS SAYS IF EMPLOYEE IS UNABLE TO REPAY, THEN ITS TREATED AS A DISTRIBUTION ON A 1099-R. BUT THEY CAN AVOID THE TAXES BY ROLLING IT OVER ALL OR PART OF IT TO AN IRA ACCOUNT BY THE DUE DATE FOR FILING TAX RETURN. ROLLOVER IS REPORTED ON FROM 5498. BUT MY FORM 5498 IS ONLY FILLED IN BY THE 1099-R OR IRA CONTRIBUTION FORM. CAN'T FIND A PLACE ON EITHER FORM THAT WILL ROLL IT OVER.

ANY SUGGESTIONS????

How much was the deemed distribution?

How much did they repay by the due date of the return?

The more I know, the more I don't know.

Here is the Help article for ProSeries and 1099-R:

https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/individual/help/proseries-form-1099-r-faq-s/00/4853

You simply enter that into the worksheet, marking whatever applies, and fill in amounts.

"BUT THEY CAN AVOID THE TAXES BY ROLLING IT OVER ALL OR PART OF IT TO AN IRA ACCOUNT BY THE DUE DATE FOR FILING TAX RETURN"

Are you confusing "deemed distribution" with "loan offset?" One means it wasn't repaid. The other is, it is Reducing a payout. An offset is allowed to be repaid; as an example, you borrowed $1,000 and have $5,000 in your account. When you quit, they only give you $4,000 as a rollover; you have to provide that missing $1,000 for the rollover to be "made whole."

Loan repayments are not considered to be contributions. You would not have a contribution as well as the loan repayment unless More than the loan was paid into the IRA. If that happened, the amount that has nothing to do with the borrowed amount also has nothing to do with the 1099-R. It's the new contribution amount, and no form would be issued for it until later. The Form 5498 is issued for money Into an account; that isn't a tax form; it's Informational. That's why you can't find anywhere to enter it. Only the 1099-R matters, and then you checkmark any action(s) taken. And that might be more than one thing.

Every little thing you asked depends on every little thing that happened. Just work through the client's details.
