Re: 401k early withdrawal

I heard that the Cares Act included a provision whereby early 401k withdrawals will not attract the 10% penalty if withdrawn within certain period during the pandemic. Turbo tax does not allow for this waiver. Perhaps I misunderstood the Cares Act provision. Thanks for a response

The form is not finalized by the IRS at this time.

For more information, see this link: Form 8915-E for 401k Early Withdrawal
