I removed funds from my IRA due to Major disaster on my land not primary residence. There was an obligation to apply funds to the association for disaster repairs

Is it a non-taxable removal?
Best answer by Opus 17

Up to $22,000 of the distribution can be exempt from the 10% penalty for early withdrawal (if you are under age 59-1/2) if you sustain an economic loss by reason of a federally declared disaster where you live.

However, as stated, IRA withdrawals are always subject to regular income tax.  Its just the early withdrawal penalty that can sometimes be exempted.

The distribution from the IRA is taxable income on your tax return.  There is no such thing as a non-taxable distribution from a tax deferred retirement account.
