For IRAs other than Roth, IRS regulations require that Fidelity withhold 10% of the gross distribution (or withdrawal). Federal income tax will not be withheld from distributions from a Roth IRA unless you elect to have such tax withheld.
You may elect not to have federal tax withheld (provided that you have supplied Fidelity with a U. S. address) or you may select the amount withheld by specifying a percentage between 10% and 99%.
Whether or not you elect to have a percentage of your withdrawal withheld, you are responsible for the full payment of federal income tax, any state or local taxes, and any penalties that may apply to your distribution.
You may be responsible for estimated tax payments and could incur penalties if your estimated tax payments are not sufficient.
For IRAs other than Roth, your state's tax regulations may require that Fidelity withhold a portion of the gross IRA distribution (or withdrawal). State tax laws vary and, for some states, state tax withholding for IRA distributions does not apply. For Roth IRAs, state tax is not withheld unless you elect to do so and state tax withholding is applicable for your state. For some states, the state tax withholding information and options that apply for your IRA withdrawal may also depend on whether or not you have elected to have federal tax withheld.
When requesting an IRA distribution, the state tax withholding information and withholding options are displayed for your state of legal residence, based on your legal address on file with Fidelity. If not on file, the mailing address you have on file with Fidelity is used to determine which state's tax laws are applicable.
For more information on state tax withholding requirements, refer to the information displayed on the Specify State Tax Withholding screen when requesting an IRA distribution using Fidelity.com. If you need specific information, consult a tax advisor.

Based on IRS regulations, a withdrawal is considered either early or normal, depending upon your specific situation:
-
If you are age 59½ or over, then your withdrawal type indicates Normal.
-
If you are under age 59½, your withdrawaltype is considered early. You must designate whether it is early or early due to a disability. You mustsatisfy the IRS definition of disabled. Refer to Early Distribution, below, to learn more.
-
If you are the beneficiary on an IRA and followingthe death of the original IRA owner you withdraw from your Beneficiary Distribution Account (BDA), the withdrawal type is distribution due to death regardless of whether or not you are over or under age 59½.
Distributions due to death are not subject to the 10% premature distribution penalty even if you are under age 59½ and request this type of distribution.
For all other withdrawal reasons, contact a Fidelity representative at 800-544-6666.
Generally, an early withdrawal froman IRA is subject to a 10% excise tax penalty unless the distribution is then rolled over or converted to another IRA within 60 days. When the early withdrawal is due to disability or, if you are the beneficiary on a deceased individual's IRA, distribution by death, the penalty may be waived. For more information, access the Retirement Resource Center in the Planning & Retirement tab and consult a tax advisor about your particular situation.
Other exceptions for early distributions exist as well. These exceptions include early withdrawals due to:
-
Deductible medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of adjusted gross income
-
Healthinsurance premiums paid by certainunemployed individuals
-
Qualified first-time home buyer expenses (up to$10,000 limit)
-

“No, sorry, I'm not able to help” says no help is forthcoming. “Yes, I will help you and I will try my best” and “Yes, I will help you. Let me see what I can do” both say that help is on its way.
How do you react when someone tells you 'I need help'? If you want to help them, say “Sure!What do you need help with?” and if you don't want to help someone, say “Sorry, I can't help you right now.”
“Thanks though.” — Thank them for offering assistance. “If I needed some help a little later, can I count/call on you?” — Make them feel their help may be needed later even if you're sure you wont need it, this makes them not to feel turned down and allows you to freely go back to them when you need their help.
When someone asks you if they can help, refer to your list and say “YES.” Let them choose what task on the list they would like to do. You don't need to feel indebted to those who help—your sincere appreciation of their help is thanks enough. People understand that you may not be able to return the favor.
If you're responding to a message from another person, get them engaged within the conversation and give them a true response that is at least a sentence or 2 long. Sometimes, it's perfectly acceptable to respond with “o*k” if it makes sense in the context.
When someone says they need your help, a few appropriate responses could be: 1. "Of course, I'm here for you. How can I assist?" 2. "I'm more than happy to help.
Answer briefly with a reply like "I'm good, thanks" or "Fine, thanks." Quick answers like "Can't complain," "Not bad," and "I'm okay, thanks" are also good options. If you'd like to spark further conversation, go into a little more detail on how you're feeling.
If someone says to you, "If you need anything, let me know," you can respond by saying, "Thank you, I really appreciate it." You can also say something like, "I'll keep that in mind, thank you for offering your help."
