When to Use 72T Distributions

Retirement Funding, Roth IRA

72T distributions are used to distribute funds from an IRA before you have turned 59 ½ to avoid the 10% early withdrawal rule.

These distributions must be done in a very methodical and precise way.

You must understand that there are 3 separate calculations that are run to determine how much you can withdrawal:

  • Required Minimum Distribution – always the smallest initial payment.
  • Annuitization
  • Amortization -always the largest initial payment.

You can change your distribution method once per 5 years.

Once you begin the 72T distributions, you must do so for the longer of:

  • 5 years
  • Reaching Age 59 ½

Understanding this strategy could help you leave your job prior to age 55 or age 59 ½.

Due to the time frame and potential tax impact of this strategy, please always consult with a CPA and a financial planner before implementing a 72T.
