Let’s Talk About Retirement

kimberly03051 asked:


I owe the IRS 7K for taxes this year. The money I owe is for taking an early withdrawal from our 401K to fix the bathroom. I’m not sure it counts as a hardship, but the bathroom was mold infested and needed to be gutted everything replaced. Can i take more money out of my 401K to pay the taxes due and not have to incurr another penalty?

I have a 401K that is vested for around 100000 US$ and I am allowed to take it after I leave the employer. I do plan to go back to India. Is it possible to take 15,000 $ per year and avoid paying federal and state taxes ( Since Iam out of country and not a resident + it falls with less income per annum). Is there a penalty that I have to pay while taking money out. I will have closed all my bank accounts except this IRA/401K account and so how would I pay the penalty and any taxes that might occur. Please advice.
