Is an IRA considered a liquid asset?
Yes an IRA is a 100% cash convertible liquid asset since there is no mandatory withholding. If you can't repay your IRA account within 60 days, it may incur a tax liability which would need to be worked out with the IRS when you file. If you have to cash out an IRA to meet emergency expenses and can't pay your taxes, the IRS will usually work out a "payment plan" and charge you some interest. Not optimal but technically the asset is super liquid.
