I've researched and from what I've read in previous posts here - fees assessed to IRAs, whether debited from the IRA or paid outside of the IRA - are not reported on the 1099-R.
I've read the 1099-R instructions that I find online (for 2012) 3 times and I can't find a word about fees, nor can I find anything (other than BOL) to mention tax treatment of fees. Can anyone point me to an "official document" that specifies that IRA fees should not be reported on the 1099-R? (I'm going to need some "proof" of this one.)
TIA
