Hardship Ira Withdrawal Without Penalty
Question: Use IRA funds to prevent a forclosure?
I have real estate that I can no longer make mortgage payments?
Is there any way I can use money from an IRA to pay my loan? Without all the penalties associated with early withdrawal? Is there some a hardship waiver?
Answer: No.
Assuming that it was a deductible Traditional IRA, there are no exceptions to paying the tax. There are a few exceptions to paying the 10% penalty but avoiding foreclosure is not one of them.

Ira Minimum Distribution

Question: What to do if you forget to take the minimum required distribution from an inherited IRA for 2009?
I heard that this was not required last year but others have said it is required for an inherited IRA. Should I do it now for 2010 and say it’s for 2009? Help!
Answer: RMDs were not required for tax year 2009 – Including Inherited IRAs – you’re o.k.
However note that in any calendar year an RMD may be required it must be distributed (withdrawn) in that calendar year.
