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
