I have read several versions of the meaning of the word Esopus. The one I like is that shop-us is an Algonquin term for flowing waters and high banks and the e was prefaced to make the word easier to pronounce but also because of the similarity with Asopus, the name of several rivers in ancient Greece.
The IRS tacks a 10 percent penalty onto other taxes due when you withdraw money from a traditional IRA before you are age 59 1/2. You can tap an IRA to pay unreimbursed medical expenses for yourself and members of your family.he same rules govern early distributions from a Roth IRA that apply to traditional IRAs. If the withdrawal meets the exception criteria for paying medical expenses or health insurance premiums when you lose your job, you donât have to pay the penalty.
You donât pay tax on your Roth IRA distributions until you withdraw earnings, and you arenât considered to be withdrawing earnings from your Roth IRA until the total amount youâve withdrawn from all your Roth IRAs is greater than the total amount you contributed to all your Roth IRAs, including rollover contributions.hen taxes and penalties apply. If you receive a non-qualified distribution of earnings from an IRA and donât meet any of the tests described above, you must pay two taxes: the regular income tax plus an additional 10% early withdrawal penalty tax. Example: You contributed $2,000 to a Roth IRA.
