Hello,

 

I was impacted by COVID so in 2021, I took out money from my 401k and I am not 59 1/2 years old.

 

Is the 10% being waived for 2021 Federal Taxes if you were impacted by COVID?

 

Thanks,

    No. The favorable tax treatment in the CARES Act only applies to the Coronavirus-related distributions from January 1 to December 31, 2020.
