OldShooter is right. In all situations, the price of the mutual fund should drop by the amount of the distribution on the day of the distribution.
In a taxable account, you need to decide if you want that distribution or not. In an IRA, it doesn't matter because IRAs are tax-deferred and all withdrawals are treated as ordinary income. (Unless you have basis, but that's a separate topic.)
