Withdraw for a recently convert IRA

This year the client converted their Traditional IRA to a ROTH.

They do not have an additional tax liability. They have a 10% penalty because the funds have been in the ROTH IRA less than 5 years? The conversion all took place this year within months of each other.

At what point do they actually pay the penalty tax?



The penalty (if they do not qualify for a penalty exception) is paid with their 2013 tax return. The penalty is reported on Part I of Form 5329.
