I purchased a property in Indiana and put it in an LLC under both me and my husband. The mortgage is under my name only. I am trying to short sale.

Will the IRS be lenient to a taxpayer under 59 1/2 who unintentionally rolled IRA money to a checking account and then wrote a check to a new IRA custodian, forgetting about the under 59 1/2 rule? The taxpayer received a 1099-R from the original custodian, indicating an early distribution. What is the best estimate as to how the IRS will proceed?
