Ok I just cashed out an old 401k from my previous job.....I know cashing out isn't the best thing to do but I had to for various reasons.
However, I have $3,000 left from the cash out and I want to invest that money in a ROTH IRA.
Is it smart to invest in a ROTH IRA at this time? And if I do.....will I receive a tax break for this year when I go to file taxes for 2010? The reason why I'm asking if I receive a tax break is because I know the government will automatically tax me 10% of the amount that I withdrew.
Thanks for the advice. This is my first post and I'm very serious about planning for retirement (I'm 25 yrs old) & getting into the stock market so I will look forward to my many conversations with you all.
Thanks again.
