Thanks for chiming in and confirming.
This feels dumb to me. Seems like the IRS should allow a way to recognize the expense as a legit 2025 expense or at least allow you to delay the distribution. I personally know multiple families with kids at various schools that have to sign leases 9 months in advance in order to lock down reasonable housing. Next time the IRS Batphone rings, can you please relay my frustration? 😀
