IRA Rollover

Question: How can i withdraw from a 403 (b) and not get the 10% tax penalty?

My mom is trying to get the money out of her 403 (b) plan but we don’t want to pay the 10% penalty due to the fact that she’ll have to pay federal taxes at the end of the year which don’t take into account the 10%. I know this is a bad idea and we should wait and and try to find money from another source but that’s not the case so just answer my question based on the information i give you. I know she can’t take it directly from the employer’s plan without the penatly but i do know she can roll it over to possibly a traditional or a rollover IRA and not get the penalty. But after she rolls it over she’ll want to get it out and i know there’s a way to withdraw from an traditional or roll over IRA without getting that 10% early withdrawal penalty. Any takers?
Also, she has already retired from the job.

Answer: Normally an employers plan does not allow distributions while you are working. You would need to check the plan document. Given this I would suggest that she look at the loan provisions of the plan. Most plans allow you to borrow from your account and pay back the amount borrowed over a five year period.
The only way to avoid the 10% penalty on IRA distributions prior to age 59 and one-half is to take an annuity distribution over her life expectancy which normally won’t get much of a distribution unless there are significant dollars in the account.
