In my case, can I take the owed taxes from the Roth IRA to pay the taxes due without incurring penalties, etc?

Monday, July 5th, 2010

I converted a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. The federal taxes were withheld – all is well with that (I think). The state taxes were not withheld. Now I owe the state a bunch of money. Can I take the owed amount (or less) from the Roth IRA to pay the taxes due without incurring penalties, etc? Would this be considered a "premature withdrawal"?

I am currently unemployed and may need to deplete my self directed traditional IRA what is the penalty?

Can I have an IRA and also a 401K plan at the sametime?

I am planning on getting a Traditional IRA plan so I can put away 00 tax free for this year. However, my company may possibly introduce a 401K plan soon.

If I invest 00 in an IRA account this year, and if my company introduces a 401K plan a little later this year, am I allowed to contribute to both IRA & 401K plans in the same year?

FYI, my filing status is married filing jointly and my wife has a 401K plan at her work place.

Would appreciate any guidance here. Thanks.

Have you been audited for reporting a loss on your self directed IRA?

Friday, April 9th, 2010

I invested in real estate in 2005, but need to sell in 2009 or 2010. I believe the net loss will be aproximately 20k. I am worried that reporting that large of a loss will trigger an IRS audit, and I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. I could hold on to the property for a few more years but it is steady losing money, and I sort of want to be done with it.
Yes I agree this is a rare occurrence. It is a self-directed IRA, not a traditional IRA.
