Retirement Contributions & Withdrawals
“I withdrew from my 401(k) before retirement age, what does that mean for taxes?”
An early 401(k) withdrawal often has tax consequences that depend on the account type, the reason for the distribution, and your overall income for the year. In many cases, the amount taken out is treated as taxable income, and an additional penalty can also apply when the withdrawal happens before retirement age. The details can change if the money came from a traditional plan versus a Roth feature, or if the distribution was tied to a hardship, disability, or another exception. Payroll withholding and any prior contributions can also affect the final reporting. A focused session can map this against your actual situation in plain English.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
