Sometimes, it’s illegal to spend money that you set aside for yourself.
When you save money in many types of workplace retirement accounts, the Internal Revenue Service doesn’t collect income taxes on that money until it’s time to take it out, when you’re older.
But you must have a very good reason, and you definitely can’t lie about it.
Last week, a sentencing hearing took place after a rare case involving this sort of legal violation.
Ms. Mosby will spend up to 12 months in home confinement, absent a successful appeal or a presidential pardon, which she has requested.
