I'm not sure if this is the subreddit, if not please feel free to direct me. From what I read on a blog, using money from an IRA to pay for college expenses can avoid the early withdrawal penalty. The main question that I have in mind is:
- How is this done to circumvent the early withdrawal penalty? Is everything calculated when I file for taxes? Or do I have to tell the brokerage firm (e.g., Vanguard, Fidelity, etc.) that it will be used for college expenses?
