Is it an IRA?

[Marketstar · Accepted solution]

Distributions from money market funds are taxed as interest income as in the case with a bank money market fund, or taxed as dividends in the case of a private money market fund.

For interest income, you will receive a 1099-INT, for dividends, you will receive a 1099-DIV.

If your money market account(s) are within a qualified retirement account such as an IRA, your distributions are not taxable or reportable.
