I received a check from a Mutual Settlement Fund that was pursuant from an order by the SEC.
The mutual fund is held in an IRA Rollover account. The check is for only $10.00.
Do I enter this any where and if so which form do I need?
Do I have to put it back into the Fund?
Can I cash it without a penalty?
