What is a 72(t) substantially equal periodic payment (SEPP)?
Quick Answer
A 72(t) SEPP is a series of equal IRA distributions that lets you tap retirement money before 59½ without the 10% penalty. Continue 5 years or to age 59½, whichever is later. Modify early and the 10% penalty hits retroactively.
