What If I Engage in a Prohibited Transaction If you engage in a “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, your account will be disqualified, and the entire balance in your account will be treated as if distributed to you and will be taxable to you as ordinary income. Examples of prohibited transactions are: a. the sale, exchange, or leasing of any property between you and your account; b. the lending of money or other extensions of credit between you and your account; or c. the furnishing of goods, services, or facilities between you and your account. If you are under age 59½, you may also be subject to the 10% penalty tax on early distributions in addition to ordinary income taxes.
Reportable Events Involving the Xxxxx Law Notwithstanding the reporting requirements outlined above, any Reportable Event that involves solely a probable violation of section 1877 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §1395nn (the Xxxxx Law) should be submitted by Practitioner to CMS through the self-referral disclosure protocol (SRDP), with a copy to the OIG. If Practitioner identifies a probable violation of the Xxxxx Law and repays the applicable Overpayment directly to the CMS contractor, then Practitioner is not required by this Section III.G to submit the Reportable Event to CMS through the SRDP.
