are considering rolling the traditional IRA into a Roth IRA.
Required:

earnings). At the end of four years, they withdraw $22,000 to pay for an addition to their house. What is the amount of withdrawal
that is taxable, if any?
c. Assume same facts as in requirement b, except that they instead withdrew only $6,000. What is the amount of withdrawal that is
taxable?
d. What if the $22,000 withdrawal is used to pay qualified education expenses for their daughter who is attending college?
