You must ask the 401(k) plan to issue a corrected code 4G Form 1099-R showing that $0 was distributed to the beneficiary of a deceased participants 401(k). They then need to issue a correct original code G Form 1099-R for this distribution to the obviously alive participant. If they refuse, you'll need to enter a substitute code G Form 1099-R and provide explanation.

Code 4 is for a death and code G is a direct rollover....was this due to a death?

To enter, edit or delete a form 1099-R -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R), click the start or update button

Or enter 1099-r in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to 1099-R

Yes, I would file that with code "G."
