What type of form did you receive?

IRA's only report distributions on a 1099-R.

Any activity within the IRA should not be reported on your return.  Only distributions from the IRA are reported.

Should I see this in Box 10-Tax Exempt interest?  Nothing imported in that box.

If you received a divided in your IRA you should receive nothing and report nothing.
