Retirement tax questions
An IRA can hold any kind of investment, from individual stocks to mutual funds to ETFs. It sounds like you first need to determine whether the money is in a brokerage account or an IRA.
If the money is in a IRA, then you have an indirect rollover. However, if you only deposited $640, the amount after tax, then you have a $640 rollover and a $120 withdrawal, which will be subject to income tax plus a 10% penalty. If the money went into a brokerage account, then the entire $800 withdrawal is taxable and subject to a 10% penalty because it is not a rollover. However, in the future, if you sell or cash out the brokerage account, you will only pay income tax on the gains instead of the entire amount.
