Normally you can't tap your retirement plan -- whether it's a 401(k) or IRA -- before you turn 59 1/2. Withdrawing the money early is costly. You'll pay not only regular income tax on the money, but a 10 percent penalty on top of that.For a $5,000 withdrawal, for instance, the penalty would be $500.However, federal tax law does allow the Internal Revenue Service to waive the penalty in certain cases.f you've already left your employer, you can avoid the penalty by making not one withdrawal but several -- substantially equal period payments, in IRS-speak. You have to take withdrawals for a minimum of five years, or until you turn 59 1/2, even if that adds up to more than you want to withdraw.
If you have a permanent disability you can withdraw from your 401k early and get the money you need. Youâll have to provide a disability letter to your 401k custodian so that they will not hit you with the 10% penalty. You read more about 401k hardship withdrawal rules in another post.hereâs no way getting around that. If you have a Roth IRA, however; you can pull your contributions at any time. The earnings have an age (59 1/2) and five year test they have to meet before you can have access to those funds penalty free.
