Shaved for the first time today. I turn 21 this month. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of my disease or normal genetics that made it take this long. It was mostly hair on my cheeks, but it was starting to look pretty messy so I wanted to get rid of it.

Despite a few small cuts on my fingers (no blood) everything went well so I'm happy about this.

Yup. It also has versions. 2.0 is readymade obviously, 1.5 (the previous version) was "designed to improve taste" and I have a stockpile of version 1.4 whose claim to fame I don't recall.

Yeah, in the U.S. the only "major" union that will organize temporary workers is the IWW and well it's not exactly major as well as being an ideological union (syndicalist) which tbh most developed world workers aren't looking for.

Don't transfer it to your checking, it's a distribution for tax purposes.

They'll take a shit ton of the money the second you "cash in" your IRA early. He's 100% correct. They should have given you the option to pay the taxes now or file them on your taxes.

Kara · « **Reply #1726 on:** August 11, 2015, 10:49:27 AM »

Taking money out of an IRA and not rolling it over to another IRA is considered earning income that can be taxed. If you're not retired, there are additional penalties too. Basically if you have to, you have to, but if you don't have to, then don't.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #1727 on:** August 11, 2015, 10:55:33 AM »

Well they're going to take 10% from it, which I am aware of and I'm fine with it. Is more going to be taken out on top of that?

I'm taking it now to give myself more buffer for my move which is going to cost a bunch of money.

Seems low. Vularai can speak to that better than I but I though it was near 30% all said and done.

This is what it says on the transfer form:

Quote

Note 2 – If you are under 591⁄2: Withdrawals made before age 591⁄2 are generally subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. You may be required

to file IRS Form 5329 if you are subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty or in the event that you are eligible for an exception to the early

withdrawal penalty.

Yes that and you're taxed as if it's earnings as well I'm fairly sure so it's 10% plus whatever tax bracket said earnings would hypothetically put you in.

Kara · « **Reply #1732 on:** August 11, 2015, 11:04:01 AM »

10% is the early withdrawal penalty, you'll also have to pay income tax on the amount withdrawn.

Your peace of mind is something only you can put a dollar value on, but you might want to crunch the numbers on say using a credit card if things go south. Or, try not to spend a penny of what you took out and re-dposit it in an IRA within 60 days to create a rollover. (You'll have to pay out of pocket to cover the 10% withheld but you'll likely get the 10% withheld back in full as a refund.)

It's impossible to say without knowing a lot more about your tax treatment, but consider the following:

4,000 * .10 = 400 (penalty)

4,000 * .25 = 1,000 (income tax)

So worst case scenario, 1,400 of extra tax for earning no income.

Sorry to make you stress about your triumph.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #1734 on:** August 11, 2015, 11:18:40 AM »

Yeah... I just called them back and they explained it as well.

Well... shit. I don't know where I land on the tax bracket really so I don't know how much I would have federal take out for it to be kosher. Even if it was around 30% total, having close to 3k would be nice.

Blah. I'll think it over.
