At my last job, I set up an IRA plan with them. I thought I'd have to create my own IRA so I created a Traditional IRA and put $1000 money in it as a seed... post-tax. As it turns out, when the setup was done, there was a second IRA (Simple IRA) and that's where my contributions and match went. So I have this extra little IRA, and I'd like to close it and put the money somewhere more useful. I suppose I'd be fine with rolling it into the Simple IRA if possible, or another IRA of some sort, but obviously it will be taxed when I withdraw in either of those cases.
Is there a way to close this and get the money out without paying a penalty or taxes?
