This time of year we are busy meeting with taxpayers, business owners and real estate owners, and it is very interesting to hear their battle stories and predictions for the economy ahead.
One common story that we hear, but more so this year, is that people are taking emergency money from their 401k’s and IRA’s to cover their monthly expenses for bills, mortgages, etc.
While most of the time, it is not a large amount, it is still indicative of a bigger problem. Is it time to sell your home?
Before we answer that, we need to deal with the problem at hand.
IF you took an early withdrawal from your retirement account you could face Federal and State penalties and taxes on the distribution. Contact your Tax Advisor immediately to discuss tax strategies to avoid the penalties (i.e. financial hardship, etc.) and prepare for the tax impact.
