Retirement tax questions

You are older than 59 1/2 so you will not have an early withdrawal penalty for taking money out of your retirement account.    But you will pay tax on the withdrawal.   You will get a 1099R that you have to enter on your tax return.  Using the money to buy land does not make it tax-free.   Are you confusing the rule about avoiding an early withdrawal penalty for making a down payment on a home from an IRA account before you are 59 1/2, perhaps?   

 

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
