You can liquidate your CD IRA at maturity, take the money out of the account and report the proceeds as taxable income.

The money will move directly between the IRAs. With a 60-day transfer, you will receive the funds from the IRA CD after maturity in the form of a check. You have 60 days to deposit this check into another IRA or you may be subject to taxes and penalties because the IRS would think that you took the money for yourself.
