1099-misc

I had an investment in my IRA and the investment company did a settlement to the clients.  They refunded monies directly back to my IRA account (no taxable event).  However, they sent me a 1099-misc for the refund.

I'm having issues with them about voiding the 1099, but that may take some time.  If I report the 1099 and pay tax on the amount I will taxed again when I withdraw the funds from my IRA.  Can I just not report the 1099 and be ready to explain to the IRS when they come asking or ?

Any thoughts will be appreciated.
