Rollover Ira Bankruptcy

Question: IRA Rollover withdrawl?

To avoid bankruptcy I am withdrawing some money from my Ira Rollover Account. I understand the 10% penalty and have come to grips with that to avoid a much worse situation as well as the long-term effects. What I am curious about is the Federal Income Taxation. Typically in your base salary your taxes are taken out depending on what bracket you are in and then when you file your taxes you get a portion of that back. Is that the case when you withdrawal?
For example – if you take out 10,000 –
2,500 would be allotted (rough est @25%) for FIT and 1,000 for early withdrawal.
Would you get a portion of the 2,500 back?

I am trying to understand what I would need to keep back come tax time as I know I will owe.

Answer: Will this withdrawal really let you avoid bankruptcy, or will it just delay bankruptcy by a few months? Your IRA is totally safe through the bankruptcy process, and if you withdraw it and create a tax liability and wind up filing for bankruptcy anyway you’ll regret it.
