There are specific timeframes that must be followed in order to resolve that issue, in which the funds must be reinvested into another Qualified IRA account. Of that was not complied with at all then the best bet would be to speak with the bank, explain their error, and see if they will correctly roll it into the CD it should have been put into in the first place, which most financial institutions do automatically. Suggest trying to explain possible age and hardship issues caused by bank error . Maybe they will help you.

Subject: INCORRECT DEPOSIT
Do you know of any way to fix a 2019 1099 R distribution error. There was a CD Maturity that should have been rolled over into another IRA product. When the bank sent the check it got deposited into the recipients savings account. She is 94, any ideas how to fix this and avoid paying taxes on monies that should still be in and IRA?
