401(K) Cash Distributions: Taxes, Penalties, & Tax Strategies


When an employee unexpectedly loses their job and needs access to cash to continue to pay their bills, it’s not uncommon for them to elect a cash distribution from their 401(K) account. Still, they may regret that decision when the tax bill shows up the following year and then they owe thousands of dollars to the IRS in taxes and penalties that they don’t have. But I get it; if it’s a choice between working a few more years or losing your house because you don’t have the money to make the mortgage payments, taking a cash distribution from your 401(k) seems like a necessary evil. If you go this route, I want you to be aware of a few strategies that may help you lessen the tax burden and avoid tax surprises after the 401(k) distribution is processed. In this article, I will cover: • How much tax do you pay on a 401(K) withdrawal? • The 10% early withdrawal penalty • The 401(k) 20% mandatory fed tax withholding • When do you remit the taxes and penalties to the IRS? • The 401(k) loan default issue • Strategies to help reduce the tax liability • Pre-tax vs. Roth sources Contact Michael Ruger with Questions: 518-477-6686 or mruger@greenbushfinancial.com Visit our website: Subscribe to our channel for more financial planning tips: #401k #greenbushfinancial...(read more)
