The IRS allows penalty-free withdrawals from retirement accounts after age 59½ and requires withdrawals after age 72. (These are called required minimum distributions, or RMDs). There are some exceptions to these rules for 401(k) plans and other qualified plans.

If you are under age 59½, your earnings may be subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty. If you are over age 59½, you may withdraw before-tax funds (excluding your TVA matching funds) from the 401(k) Plan. You will not pay an early withdrawal penalty; however, your distribution will be taxed as ordinary income.

Your money grows tax-deferred until the tax code allows you to begin making penalty-free withdrawals after age 59 1/2 .

Also, a 10% early withdrawal penalty applies on withdrawals before age 59½, unless you meet one of the IRS exceptions. Sign up for Fidelity Viewpoints weekly email for our latest insights.
