given data
leo is 34 years old
leo contributed in 2014 = $ 3000 (first)
leo contributed in 2015 = $ 2000 (second)
total contribution = first time + second time
= $ 3000 + $ 2000
= $ 5000
total contribution = $ 5000
leo withdrew the entire balance that is $ 5466
the grew up to = $ 5466
interest amount = the amount grew up - total contribution amount
= $ 5466 - $ 5000
interest amount = $ 466
the excess $ 466 (5466 - 5000) is to be treated as interest amount on contribution of
$ 5000
leo withdrew the entire amount, the interest or gain amount will be taxable and it is
subject to panality.
therefore, the amount $ 466 is taxable and $ 466 is subjuct to panality.
