Surgent's Guide to the Early Distribution Penalty Exceptions for Distributions from Retirement Accounts (IRA6)
Description
Distributions from retirement accounts that occur before the account owner reaches age 59« are subject to a 10% additional tax, unless an exception applies. Eligibility for any of these exceptions is determined by several factors, including the type of account from which the distribution is made. Making a wrong move can result in a retirement account owner losing eligibility for an exception. In some cases, exceptions can only be claimed through proper reporting on the individual's tax return.
