Question

Brooklyn has been contributing to a traditional IRA for seven years (all deductible contributions) and has a total of $30,000 in the account. In 2019, she is 39 years old and has decided that she wants to get a new car. She withdraws $20,000 from the IRA to help pay for the car. She is currently in the 24 percent marginal tax bracket. What amount of the withdrawal, after tax considerations, will Brooklyn have available to purchase the car?

Answer 1

The correct answer is $13,200

• Total amount contributed to IRAs for 7 years = $30,000
• The amount she withdraws to get a new car = $20,000
• Marginal tax bracket = 24 percent

Further Explanation

To determine the after tax withdrawal, you should subtract the amount she withdraws from her account from the 10% penalty charges (according to the condition of the Roth IRA withdrawal) and also subtract the derived value from the marginal tax bracket of the amount she withdraw.

Therefore, if you substitute the above values, then you have:

$20,000 - 0.1 × 20,000 - 0.24 × 20,000

= $20,000 - 2,000 - 4,800

= $13,200

In Roth IRAs (individual retirement account), your age and the reason why you withdrawal from your contributions determine how much you will pay as taxes.

Also, if you are not above 59 and half years of age, you will be penalized if you withdraw from your account. Since Brooklyn is not up to the age of 59 and half, then she will have to pay a 10% penalty for withdrawing from her IRAs account.

Answer 2

Answer: $13,200

Explanation:

Given that,

Contributing to a traditional IRA = 7 years

Total in account = $30,000

Withdrawal from IRA to help pay for the car = $20,000

marginal tax bracket = 24 percent

Therefore,

After tax withdrawal:

= Withdraws - 10% penalty as per IRS for early withdrawal - 24% tax on $20,000

= $20,000 - 0.1 × 20,000 - 0.24 × 20,000

= $20,000 - 2,000 - 4,800

= $13,200
