FAQ

A hardship withdrawal is a distribution from an employee's 403(b) retirement account made because of an immediate and heavy financial need. The distribution is limited to the amount necessary to satisfy that financial need and any applicable taxes and penalties.

To report the tax on early distributions, you may have to file Form 5329, Additional Taxes on Qualified Plans (Including IRAs) and Other Tax-Favored Accounts PDF. See the Form 5329 instructions PDF for additional information about this tax.

Rollovers from your 401(k) plan This transaction is not taxable; however, it is reportable on Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc.

Deferring Social Security payments, rolling over old 401(k)s, setting up IRAs to avoid the mandatory 20% federal income tax, and keeping your capital gains taxes low are among the best strategies for reducing taxes on your 401(k) withdrawal.

If you're taking out funds from your retirement account prior to age 59½ and exceptions apply, use IRS Form 5329 to report the amount of 10% additional tax you owe on an early distribution or to claim an exception to the 10% additional tax.

Take an early withdrawal You'll need to speak with someone at your company's human resources department to see if this option is available and how the process works. Generally, you'll need to complete some paperwork, and describe why you need early access to your retirement funds.

You do not have to prove hardship to take a withdrawal from your 401(k). That is, you are not required to provide your employer with documentation attesting to your hardship. You will want to keep documentation or bills proving the hardship, however.

For the purposes of account withdrawals, retirement is considered to be age 59½. If you withdraw from a traditional IRA or 401(k) before this age, those withdrawals are subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty and taxation at ordinary income tax rates. Roth withdrawal rules are different.

What are the rules for withdrawing from this account? You must have a triggering event—generally either termination of employment or retirement—to take a distribution. Generally, all withdrawals are subject to taxes. Withdrawals before age 59½ may be subject to a 10% penalty.
