I think the authors of that notable instrument intended to include all men, but they did not mean to declare all men equal in all respects. They did not mean to say all men were equal in color, size, intellect, moral development, or social capacity. They defined with tolerable distinctness in what they did consider all men created equalâequal in certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This they said, and this they meant.
Take care to avoid these five significant retirement penalties: IRA early withdrawal penalty. If you withdraw money from your IRA before age 59Â½, you will generally have to pay a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty in addition to income tax on the amount withdrawn. So, if you withdraw $5,000 from your IRA at age 40, youâll need to pay a $500 tax penalty.
The question is: How can I take money out of my Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), 401k, IRA or other retirement plan without paying the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) an extra 10% early withdrawal penalty because I am NOT age 59-Â½ yet? There is a little known IRS rule called a 72(t). It allows you to take equally substantial distributions, to ELIMINATE the 10% early withdrawal penalty normally due for withdrawals prior to age 59-Â½. So let's review how it works. You stop working due to loss of job, or health, layoff, RIF, or an early out offer. You can roll your TSP into an IRA. After the rollover is completed you apply for a 72(t) equally substantial distribution. The IRS allows you to base your payment on the following factors: 1  Your age. 2  The age of your beneficiary. 3  The amount of money you have.
