If in taking a disbursement, you pay tax, then have to claim it at the end of the yr. both total amount and taxes pd. Taking money from one to another, except in a roll over, you still pay tax. Even though the sum was first established by you(to be used later in life) it is still earned income at distribution. It's all in the details and terminology, it's your money, you put it away, paid tax when you put it away, but the Feds still get there cut as earned income in the end, that's what makes it NEW MONEY...........
If you bought your house for 50K 20yrs. ago, sold it today for 100K. The 50K over what you pd. originally is considered "NEW MONEY". Did you work for it(well sorta) no......but you still show it as earned income whether you spend it or put it in a IRA.
Wow! Interesting? So you are saying when you take an RMD, for example. out of an IRA, that you can actually put it back into the IRA?
As for the house example- are you kidding? You can also do the same with that?
This is legit? Is it in writing anywhere? I honestly never heard of this. See- I keep telling people- there are things about managing money that I do not get.
