TAXPAYER RECEIVED A DISTRIBUTION OF $78,000-HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTION

[mb70]

TAXPAYER RECEIVED $78,000 FOR A HARDSHIP DISTRIBUTION.

AN EARLY DISTRIBUTION.

THEY TOOK OUT $7,800 FOR FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAXES

WHEN PREPARING THE RETURN PRO SERIES DID NOT POST THE 

10% PENALTY.

WHY?

How old are they?  Whats the code in Box 7 of the 1099R?

WHY? - Because you did not understand all of the input for the return. 

Stay tuned and someone will give you really good hints.

It probably is subject to the 10% penalty, but you need to answer @Just-Lisa-Now-  questions. Here is a link for you to research:
