I recently turned 59 1/2 and would like to rollover a portion of my 401k to an IRA for more investment options. about 20% of my 401k is company stock. vanguard has told me if i do a partial distribution it will come out in direct proportion to my current allocation. can i take this partial distribution and still use NUA option with my next triggering event, my retirement in 3 years? I realize i will not be able to do NUA on this partial distribution and i'm ok with that.

Asked onWednesday, August 02, 2023 by Christopher

Hello, I am a teacher by trade, but on the side this year I have been consigning and selling several art pieces that I have purchased with Sotheby’s auction house, as investments. I have had to fill out a W-9 for the sales, but I wanted to reach out to see what to expect with these capital gains taxes. Also, I wanted to see if the purchase cost of the investment and other related costs of shipping, travel, etc are deductible from these investment pieces. Thank you for your help!
