Hello,
I have always done my taxes with TurboTax. In the early 2000s my father opened a custodial Roth IRA account for me with Vanguard. This account passed to me in 2014. Unfortunately, I am not able to determine the contributions amount in order to take an early withdrawal with no penalty. Vanguard has said they do not track the contributions, and are unable to figure it out. I do not have Form 5498 for the years that contributions were made. How can I go about making an "educated guess" on what my contributions were? Or should I call the IRS to see what their records are, as Vanguard said they sent a Form 5498 each year to the IRS? I would like to make a withdrawal soon, and make the correct withdrawal amount without any sort of penalty. Thanks in advance for your help.
