Levine, Jacobs & Company, LLC, Senior Member Shares Insight On Retirement Plan Withdrawal.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) November 11, 2022 - Michael H. Karu, CPA/CFF, Senior Member, Levine, Jacobs & Company, LLC., was interviewed on NJ.com where he discussed the effects of withdrawing money from a retirement plan during COVID.
The conversation focused on those who started the process of removing money from their retirement plans due to COVID in 2020 but the money wasn’t distributed until 2021. What happens? When was the money taxed and were there any deadlines missed?”
In response, Karu stated, “The CARES Act allowed people to take up to $100,000 from these accounts, even if they were under age 59 ½, and avoid the regular 10% early withdrawal penalty.The withdrawals were still taxed, though, but one had the option of spreading the taxation of the money over three years. You are taxed based on the date the funds are distributed.”
Additionally, Karu said, “You should have received Form 1099-R from the company retirement plan acknowledging the amount withdrawn. If any federal or state taxes withheld, those would also be shown on the same form.”
