I am working on my Granddauthers taxes. She only earned $3,625 due to various illnesses. She had to withdraw money from her IRA. Is there a way to avoid the early withdrawal penalty?

    Once your granddaughter enters her 1099-R information, the program will prompt her with questions to determine if she qualifies for an exception. Please view the list of possible exceptions to the 10% early withdrawal penalty (IRA) below:

    • Death or total and permanent disability
    • Series of substantially equal periodic payments based on life expectancy
    • Qualified first-time homebuyer distributions up to $10,000
    • Qualified higher-education expenses
    • Certain medical insurance premiums paid while unemployed
    • Unreimbursed medical expenses that are more than a certain amount of your adjusted gross income
    • IRS levy
    • Certain distributions to qualified military reservists called to active duty
