Can I claim capital losses on sales in my IRA if I made an ordinary cash distribution this year?

Sales of securities within an IRA, whether resulting in a capital gain or a capital loss, are not included in your tax return. All distributions from an IRA are taxed at ordinary income tax rates and never at capital gain rates.
