97.0. "tax defered lump sum retirement $" by CSCOAC::BURNS_J () Mon Mar 09 1992 13:27

    TAX DEDERED LUMP SUM RETIREMENT $
    Is there a way to take a lump sum retirement option, invest that in
    a tax defered something but draw the interest from it, not the
    principle?

    If I am orrect, you can roll it over to an IRA account. And, if you
    choose, you can ask them to send you a check every month on the
    interest/dividend you gain on the account. You will pay the normal
    income tax on the money you receive.

    Re .1 - I thought there was a 10% penalty (in addition to the 
    usual taxes) on any amount you withdraw prematurely out of an IRA.

    .1 is misleading. 
    
    If .0 is asking about the 26 week payment for the eraly retirement
    plan, the whole sum is taxable, but ask personnel about five-year 
    averaging. 
    
    If .0 is asking about the lump sum option for retirement payments, the
    lump sum can be rolled over into an IRA tax free. Withdrawals from 
    that IRA are taxable events. It doesn't matter if it's principal or
    interest: it would all be taxable. 
    
    Withdrawals from IRA's are subject to 10% penalties unless you are over
    59 1/2 (or if you make withdrawals based on your life expectancy
    percentages: a complicated loophole most people should ignore)
    
    But this is the wrong place to ask for dependable advice. If asking
    about the early retirement plans, ask personnel.

    re: .2 & .3

    .0> TAX DEDERED LUMP SUM RETIREMENT $

    This statement from .0 left me the impression that this amount of $ is 
    already tax deffered. So, I took the liberty to assume that it is from 
    a 401K account. And the way to reinvest a 401K lump sum without getting 
    taxed and get penalized is to roll it over to an IRA. 

    As far as whether or not you pay the 10% penalty on the interest you 
    take out? Well, to be honest, I am not really sure about it. My original 
    understanding is that you can take the interest and just pay the tax 
    on what you take. But, I may find myself wrong about that. (as I just 
    did from your replies)
