Roth & cert. of deposit (CD) versus 1099?

Mar 19, 2013 4 Replies

I have Roth IRA funds invested in a bank 2 year Certificate of Deposit (CD).



I opened this CD February 2012, it matures Feb 2014.



I am 70 years old.



Will I get a yearly IRS 1099 for the interest earned on this Roth CD?



?or will I only get a 1099 at the CD maturity?



?..or will I _NEVER_ be issued a 1099?



Unhappily, I get conflicting answers at the bank where I purchased this CD.



Tnx folks??..

1099-INTs are never issued for any type of IRA or qualified retirement plan.

" Thank you" for the prompt response! I should have worded my query a bit differently. Please let me try again:

Will I get a yearly IRS 1099 of any kind (INT, DIV, R, B, etc) for the interest earned on this Roth CD? No distributions are involved.

or will I only get a 1099 (of any kind) at the CD maturity?

..or will I _NEVER_ be issued a 1099 of any flavor?

Thank you for responding.

1099-INTs are never issued for any type of IRA or qualified retirement plan. ==============...SHOULD never be issued ....

Banks make all kinds of tax mistakes.

You should not receive any 1099-INT or DIV, ever. You should get an annual Form 5498 reporting year end balance in your IRA.

When the CD matures, and whether you take a distribution from the Roth IRA, are two separate events. By default, the bank will undoubtedly renew the CD (within the IRA) at then-current rates if you don't take action during the brief grace period after maturity.

If and when you eventually take a distribution from this IRA (again, no connection to when your CD matures), you will probably receive a 1099-R.
