Yes, if you withdraw pre-tax investments, you will pay tax on the amount withdrawn.  You should receive a 1099 form to report the distribution.  

 

However, if this is a retirement account, and you are under retirement age, you may also pay a penalty in addition to the tax, unless you meet one of the Hardship Withdrawals exceptions.

 

Not knowing anything about your pre-tax contributions, or what type of account you have, and not being financial advisors, we can't advise you for or against a withdrawal.  

 

You should probably discuss this with someone at Acorns.
