Early in the year, I bought $15,000 of shares in a mutual fund within a IRA >account. At year end, they're worth only $11,000. I know I can't tax
harvest the $4,000 loss by just selling the stock and leaving the
proceeds within the tax-deferred IRA.
But what if I sold the shares and took the $11,000 from the IRA as a >distribution?
I know that amount would be taxable as ordinary income-- but is there any
way to deduct the $4,000 loss?
