Thanks so much for your quick reply.
NOT: But this Roth was funded in 2018 with AFTER TAX dollars. I did not convert pre-tax IRA funds to a Roth IRA. These were after tax dollars I used to fund this Roth in 2018. So why pay a penalty on withdrawing after tax dollars in 2020 ( which was used to pay my 2019 taxes by the way).
So I deposited after tax dollars into a Roth, in 2018, then I had to withdraw $5,000 in 2020 to pay 2019 taxes owed. I should not have to pay a penalty of $1,100 because I withdrew $5000 from and after tax Roth deposit. Im confused
