My son's friend had a retirement plan at work, (a SEP, I think) and left his job. The AG Edwards broker's assistant called and told him he had to take the money if he wasn't going to add to it anymore. The kid didn't know his options and got a check, minus 20% withholding and another 10% for the early withdraw penalty. He then endorsed the checks and put them into his regular IRA as a rollover. I know the rollover isn't taxable, but what about the 30% that was sent to the IRS? American Funds said it's too late to get it back from them. Please help. Thanks.
