Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@kgarson85 you will pay whatever your federal and state tax bracket is times PLUS the 10% penalty times the $21k.  it is very expensive - Congress really wants you to leave the money in the 401K until retirement. 

 

if you are in the 12% federal tax bracket and the 6% CA tax bracket, you would pay 28% times $21k. Again, quite expensive.
