If making an early withdrawal from an IRA account, do you pay regular tax and a 10% penalty? Yes, if it is as regular IRA. If it is a Roth IRA, you would just pay the penalty. Yes, sad but true. depends on what type of IRA you have. Both Roth and regular IRAs have a tax plus 10% penalty. However, there are exceptions for certain things, such as certain medical expenses. More info: http://www.taxprophet.com/faq/990523.htm... If it is a regular IRA you would pay taxes and penalties if you withdraw principal or gains before you are59 1/2. if it is a Roth there are no taxes and you can withdraw any principal you put in without penalty as long as if has been in 5 years or longer. You will be penalized if you withdraw gains before 59 1/2 or if you withdraw principal that has been in less than 5 years. tonalc1 is closest to right. But in addition to medical expenses there ARE other expenses that allow you to avoid the penalty: such as education expenses for you, your spouse or your dependants. Also, and I'm not sure of this, but I think a legal judgement against you in most cases allows avoidance of the penalty as well. You still owe ordinary income tax on these distributions, however, unless its a Roth, in which case you owe only capital gains taxes on the appreciation of the investments (so long as you held them 1 year or longer). not if it is a roth ira. |
