In 2005, I received a distribution from an IRA. The IRA was my mother’s and she died in 2005. The money was somewhere between 16 and 17,000. I did not file a 2005 tax return. I want to do so asap and am curious as to whether or not I should expect any kind of a refund from this money??? Thanks very much!
