If you pull out of your 401K and you are under 59 1/2, you will have to pay income taxes and a 10% penalty. The only exemption for this is if you are legally disabled.

How do you cash in 401k?
If you are still employed by the company that sponsors your 401k plan then you will not be eligible to cash out of the plan. Instead, you can see if your plan offers either a 401k plan loan, or a 401k plan hardship withdrawal (not all 401k plans allow hardship withdrawals so you need to ask your plan administrator if your plan has this feature.)If you are no longer employed by the company that sponsors your 401k plan, then you are eligible to get your money out of your 401k plan. You can cash out of the plan, or rollover your 401k plan balance to an IRA. If you choose to rollover your 401k plan instead of cashing out, then you will not have to pay taxes or penalty taxes: rollovers to IRAs are not taxable transactions if you do them the right way.

My 401k administrator is saying I am not eligible for a 401K rollover of any kind because I am not leaving the company. Can a 401k be rolled over into an IRA or a roth IRA without a job change?
As a general rule of thumb, you cannot rollover your 401k to another account while you are still with the company. You could cash the 401k account out, but in doing so you could be facing taxes and penalties of over 40%. For more information on 401k rollovers, please visit eRollover.com at the links below.

Any employee, regardless of the type of work he or she performs, is eligible for a 401k if the employer offers it. An employer is not required to offer a 401k, however. If an employer-sponsored plan (401k, 403b, SEP IRA, etc.) is not available, often individuals will contribute to a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA.
Is it possible to withdraw funds from a tax deferred 401k to pay off a second mortgage?
If you are over 59 1/2 you can withdraw money from your 401k for any reason. If you are under 59 1/2 you can take a loan on the 401k in most cases. Ask your 401k administrator about this. Also, if you were thinking about taking a hardship withdraw to pay off your second mortgage, that isn't allowed. In terms of your house, hardship withdraws are only available to purchase a primary residence or to prevent eviction or foreclosure on your primary residence.
