Voluntarily left job and took 401k money do I still get taxed extra? Count as early widthdrawl?

[chloemfgrass]

if I voluntarily left a job in which I held a 401k do I still get taxed extra? And does it still count as a early withdrawal?

[MargaretL · Accepted solution]

Yes, the 401K withdrawal will be considered an early withdrawal if you took the money before you reached age 59 and 1/2.

You will be subject to additional 10% tax penalty, unless very specific exceptions - allowed by the IRS-  apply.

Please enter form 1099-R into TurboTax exactly as it appears and answer follow up questions. The program will help you determine if there are any exceptions applicable to your situation.
