Does anyone know how to get funds that was in a 401k account years ago into your current IRA?

The funds should still be in that 401k. You go to that administrator of the 401k and request a rollover.

If you were not allowed to keep funds in as a non-employee, then they probably sent you a check. If that check is expired, you might have issues

Call the 401k company. Ask them to walk you through the required steps.

And before you roll a penny into the IRA, contact the brokerage and negotiate a big incentive to roll over the 401k to them. I rolled about $750k into Fidelity and got them to pay me like $1200 to do this.
