Hello! How can I figure out if withdrawing $$ from my 401k early affect my taxes (i.e. will I end up having to pay taxes, instead of getting a refund)?

    Making an early withdrawal from your 401(k) can lead to a 10% penalty on the early withdrawal amount.  Please see the following link for more information:

    You may find it useful to use a tax calculator to help you determine the overall effect an early 401(k) distribution will have on your Federal tax outcome (receiving a refund or paying a balance due).  TurboTax will release a 2024 tax calculator later this year.
