Why This Tool Exists

Moving back to India with US tax-advantaged accounts (401k, 403b, Traditional IRA, Roth IRA) is a legal minefield. If you make a mistake, you can trigger a 10% IRS early withdrawal penalty, face double-taxation from the Indian government, or get trapped by forced liquidations.

  • The DTAA & Section 89A: India formally allows you to defer taxes on US retirement accounts, but ONLY if you file Form 10-EE.
  • The Roth Trap: The tax-free nature of Roth accounts is not explicitly protected in India.
  • The Penalty Hacks: There are legal IRS loopholes (like Rule 72t and the Rule of 55) that allow early retirees to access their money without the 10% penalty.
