Account terms and conditions are essential documents that outline the rules, regulations, and agreements between an account holder and Fidelity 401(k) when it comes to withdrawals. These terms and conditions provide clarity and transparency regarding the process, limitations, and fees associated with withdrawing funds from a Fidelity 401(k) account. Fidelity 401(k) offers several types of account terms and conditions with withdrawal options based on the specific needs and preferences of the account holder. Some of these types include: 1. Early withdrawal terms and conditions: This type of account terms and conditions deal with circumstances where an account holder wishes to withdraw funds from their Fidelity 401(k) account before reaching the age of 59 and a half years. Early withdrawals typically incur penalties and taxes, and the terms and conditions outline the details of these charges. 2. Required minimum distribution (RED) terms and conditions: When an account holder reaches the age of 72, they are generally required to start taking minimum distributions from their Fidelity 401(k) account. The RED terms and conditions specify the rules and calculations related to these mandatory withdrawals, ensuring compliance with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations. 3. Partial withdrawal terms and conditions: Account holders may choose to withdraw a portion of their funds from their Fidelity 401(k) account while leaving the remaining balance intact. The terms and conditions associated with partial withdrawals dictate the procedure, minimum withdrawal amount, and any associated fees. 4. In-service withdrawal terms and conditions: In specific circumstances, an account holder may be eligible to take a withdrawal from their Fidelity 401(k) account while still employed with the sponsoring company. These terms and conditions outline the eligibility criteria, withdrawal limits, and any potential penalties. 5. Hardship withdrawal terms and conditions: In times of financial hardship, Fidelity 401(k) may allow account holders to withdraw funds from their account to alleviate immediate financial needs. The terms and conditions for hardship withdrawals specify the qualifying events, maximum withdrawal amount, and the impact on future contributions. Regardless of the type of terms and conditions, it is crucial for account holders to carefully review and understand them before initiating a withdrawal from their Fidelity 401(k) account. This helps avoid any misunderstandings, penalties, or unforeseen consequences related to the withdrawal process.
