I quit my job and they gave me my pension & I didn't roll it over, but I forgot to put on my 2004 taxes. Can I add it on to my 2007 taxes?

No you can't add it to your 2007 taxes, you will need to file an amended return (1040X) for 2004. You will probably get some kind of notice from the IRS informing you that there is a discrepancy in your 2004 return between what you reported as income and what they have reported to them as income. They'll also assess you penalties and interest.

The IRS may or may not notify you about this. This is because your employer probably took 20% from your pension for taxes. You may actually be due a refund, and the IRS doesn't usually notify persons a refund is available.
You will need to file Form 1040X for the year 2004 and include the income and withholding on your return. Only income taxes will be owed, no Social Security or Medicare. If taxes are owed, the IRS will assess you additional interest and perhaps penalties.

Don't delay because you will lose any refund coming to you on April 15, 2008.

No, you can't just add it on to a different year, you'll have to amend your 2004 return and pay any additional tax that's due. It's possible that enough was withheld when you withdrew it to cover the taxes you owe, so you might even have a refund coming.
The IRS already knows, since they got a copy of the info on the 1099-R that you got showing the withdrawal. I'm surprised they haven't already contacted you about it.

i assume you ignored the paragraph that stated Hillary;s would aim the middle type, the place Obama's would help the detrimental. the middle type are the working type, those that pay their share of the taxes. The detrimental pay little or no if any taxes, so concentrated on them won't be a tax decrease. the middle type under his plan will quit to exist. What Obama says is i pass to boost your taxes, yet i will make it appear like i'm not. in straightforward terms fools will have faith. The taxes inspite of each and every of the rhetoric is better for the middle type suited now then it became while Clinton became pres, he raised the taxes. Bush gave tax cuts and the objective became the middle type and it hit. look it up, yet then youd have not something to whinge appropriate to the taxes. ************************* help the detrimental how? The working detrimental gets a million dollaar greater? he is going to boost them and then decrease them for one group.

Don't add it to your 2007 tax return. Rather, you must file an amended return (Form 1040X). The government will eventually discover your missing pension and send you a bill. You could wait for that and pay the tax, interest, and penalty then. I would recommend filing the 1040X form.

Nope. File an amended form. Since you earned it in 2004, you're going to have to put it on that 2004 return.

If you received a 1099R, the IRS "knows", but they may or may not "notice" it.
File a 1040X to amend the return.

No.
You must ammend your 2004 returns.
