FAQ
Generally, the IRS will waive the penalty if these scenarios apply: You are terminally ill. You become or are disabled. You gave birth to a child or adopted a child during the year (up to $5,000 per account). You rolled the account over to another retirement plan (within 60 days).
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 take a 401(k) Plan Hardship or a 457 Plan Unforeseeable Emergency Withdrawal, the amount will be subject to federal, state and local income taxes. A 10% early withdrawal penalty may also apply to 401(k) withdrawals.
For the 2023 income tax returns, the individual income tax rate for Michigan taxpayers is 4.05 percent, and the personal exemption is $5,400 for each taxpayer and dependent. An additional personal exemption is available if you are the parent of a stillborn child delivered in 2023.
If a 401(k) plan participant withdraws funds from their plan before age 59½, they would be subject to a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty from the IRS. In California, taking early distributions from a 401(k) also means incurring an additional state tax.
In tax year 2023, Michigan began a four-year phase-out of its retirement income tax. By the 2026 tax year, pensions and income from 401(k) and IRA withdrawals will be fully exempt from state income tax. In the meantime, you may qualify for tax relief depending on your age or occupation.
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.
