FAQ
You will receive a Form 1099-R when you make a withdrawal from a IRA, 401(k) or other retirement account. This form includes information such as: the amount you withdrew, how much is taxable (if that was determined), any taxes that were withheld, and a code that shows what type of distribution it was.
The early withdrawal penalty for a traditional or Roth individual retirement account is 10% of the amount withdrawn. Keep in mind that you may also owe income tax in addition to the penalty. You can withdraw contributions (but not earnings) early from a Roth IRA without being subject to income tax and the penalty.
