How much can I withdraw from my IRA in 2020?
In a previous column, I praised a provision in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) that permits an eligible IRA owner to withdraw up to $100,000 in 2020 and repay it within three years without incurring federal income tax. Coronavirus-related distributions are what the Internal Revenue Code names these tax-favored withdrawals. They’re referred to as CVDs by me. See this earlier Tax Guy for an overview of how CVDs work.
