    For fed tax purposes, did I receive a "distribution" if I borrowed against my 401k?
    I am at this section of filing my federal incom tax return and don't know how to answer:

    Retirement Plan Income
    The following types of retirement income are usually reported on Form 1099-R:

    IRAs
    401(k)s
    Annuities
    Military pensions
    Other pension plans
    Life insurance proceeds
    Disability payments
    Hurricane distributions from 2005 or 2006 that are taxable in 2007


    Did you receive a distribution from one of these retirement plans in 2007?

    I borrowed money from my 401k that I automatically repay monthly through payroll deductions. Is this considered a distribution?

    No a loan is not a distribution

    If you took a loan the administrator should not have sent you a 1099-R, and hence you do not report the loan on your taxes. If the admin did send you a 1099-R, post back and let us know what islisted as the "reason code" for the distribution.
