Retirement tax questions
Yes, but if it was covid-related, you will be able to waive the penalty and spread the tax over three years. You can use the 8915-E to apply the relief whether it says 1 or 2 in Box 7 of your 1099-R. Those who qualify as individuals directly impacted by the pandemic will be able to withdraw up to $100k from their retirement accounts without facing the 10% early withdrawal penalty. You qualify if:
- You, your spouse, or your dependent are diagnosed with COVID-19
- You experience adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, or laid off
- You had work hours reduced to COVID-19
- You’re unable to work due to child care closure or hour reduction
The distribution would be taxed over 2020, 2021, and 2022. You’ll have that time to pay back the funds you withdrew, without the amount impacting that year’s cap on contributions, and if you pay back the amount within that time, you’ll be able to claim a refund on those taxes. @zennie923
