    What does a 1099-R mean?
    I have an IRA account with Fidelity, and just received a 1099-R. Is it possible I received this in error? Do I need to report this on my taxes? Thanks for your help.

    Your IRA custodian issues you a Form 1099-R if you took a distribution, including if you rolled the account over to another investment house. The 1099-R should have a distribution code, which is used to determine whether the distribution is taxable or not. Take a look at the form - what does it say in Box 7? Also, is there an amount in Box 2a (taxable amount)? Or is box 2b checked ("Taxable amount not determined")?
