I just did my taxes and my maximum IRA contribution of $4,000 adds $600 onto my federal return.
If I clear out the IRA (all $4,000) tomorrow wouldn't I pay only the 10% penalty of $400? Or would I have to pay the penalty and then other taxes (capital gains?) on top of it?
Another question. I might be purchasing a house soon. So could I deposit $10,000 now: get deductions of $4,000 for 2006, $4,000 for 2007, $2,000 for 2008? Would I get those deductions even if I withdrew all $10,000 for a 1st time home purchase in May or June of this year?
Is there anything I'm missing here, or other requirements I should know about?
