Dear Community,
My clients' took early Retirement distributions to cover their children's adoption, education costs and pay their prior tax liabilities.
The distribution code is 1 - distribution is not exempt.
However, my clients' took out the funds for purposes that qualify for the distribution to be exempt from the 10% penalty.
What kind of documentation would you request to support the expenses?
Thanks in advance!
Documentation needed would be everything to show the trail of the money with receipts for those qualifying expenses.
