What are the tax implications of the allocation of the Trust fund shortfall on an IRA account?
The account holder received a Receivers Certificate in exchange for the Allocation payment. This certificate has a face value equal to the amount paid. As a result, a taxable event has not occurred, until such time as the Receiver Certificate is sold or otherwise determined to be canceled by the Receiver. This process is expected to take time. If the transaction occurred within an IRA, it is unlikely that a taxable event has occurred. Please consult your tax advisor.
