He had questions on how Required Minimum Distributions from IRAs are made when the spouse is more than 10 years younger than the IRA owner. 1/13/04Helped David Childers, CPA, Shallowater, TX. He had questions on how to determine the interest rate for §72(t) computations. This computation is used to calculate the penalty - free amount that can be taken out of an IRA before someone is 59 and 1/2. September, 2004Helped Bill Evenson of Hawkins, Ash, Baptie & Co, De Pere, WI. He was questioning an IRS notice. I helped him reduce the interest that the IRS was charging his client. December, 2004Helped Neil Sullivan of Farm Credit Services of Minnesota Valley. He had a client that was over charged interest and Failure To File penalties. I showed him why the IRS was in error. Failure To File penalties are supposed to be computed *net* of Failure To Pay penalties. Interest on Failure To File penalties begins at the end of the extension period, not on the return due date as the IRS had asserted.
