I transferred a CD to another bank and took out the distribution myself. On the 1099-R who is the Payer in this case?

    @jasper13 , I am missing something here.  If you are talking about  Certificate of Deposit  ( CD) , then it generally earns interest  ( reported on 1099-INT ) -- generally nothing to do with  IRAs,  401s , annuity, pension etc. ( those  are the ones reported on 1099-R).  Also 1099-R distributions  have aged based penalties ( these are meant to be  retirement savings/benefits ).

    What did you actually do or  are trying to do ?

    I don't understand what you did, but you can't make up a fake 1099-R that wasn't issued and filed with the IRS by a financial institution.

    the CD was held in an IRA account. This CD was cashed out and transfer to a Fidelity IRA account by the bank.

    @jasper13  if nothing went through your hands, i.e. it was admin/Bank  to  Admin, then there is no need to recognize the transfer  (often  this  results in 1099-R with code G -- non-taxable  "distribution" ).

     

    Does this make sense ?
