Retirement tax questions

No, the penalty has been waived for 2020.  But the forms have not been finalized yet.  Check back later; the program is being updated daily.  The IRS does not start accepting e-filed returns until Feb 12th, so no need to rush to file before that.  

 

The 10 percent early withdrawal penalty may be waived on up to $100K of retirement funds withdrawn if you are a qualified individual impacted by Coronavirus. You are a qualified individual if:

  • You, your spouse, or dependent are diagnosed with Coronavirus
  • You experience adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, or laid off
  • You had hours reduced due to Coronavirus
  • You are unable to work due to your child care closing or reducing hours
