yes you can, however on some plans u r subject to repay back and also u r subject to having early taxes as well because when your payroll deductions are made, ur 401k comes out first before your taxes, i cashed out my 401k back in 2003, even though lots of taxes were held out and penalty taxes, not enough was taken out and therefore i have to still pay the IRS over $10,000 and they charge interest as well. as to this day i still owe them$7000. so think long and hard before you do
You can cash in your 401K plan upon retirement or after a penalty before your retirement age.
You can cash out your 401k, but you could possibly face severe tax implications. When you cash out a 401k plan, you usually pay ordinary income tax on the amount, plus a 10% penalty. Sometimes this can result in a charge of over 40%!
A 401k plan invest your money for you. A cash balance may earn a small amount of interest but has no risk.
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.

what age do you have to be to get money from your 403b or 401k
The main requirement for a 401K account is a deposit by the employee toward this account every pay period. If you are fortunate enough to have a good employer, they may match you or choose a standard amount to deposit on your behalf. This works out seamlessly and you may draw off the funds at the age of 59.5 or cash out upon termination of a job, but you may not cash out and then open a new account within so many days of the cash out.
Typically yes, but usually with very large penalties. Check with the HR of your company for more information on specifics. But yes, people cash out 401K before maturation all the time.
You own your 401k so when you leave your employer you still own your 401k. You can either leave it where it is or you can move it to which ever company manages the 401k investments for your new employer. how do i git access to my 401k from this company so i can transfer or cash it in.
Yes. If I offer a 401K, I must tell all qualified employees about it.
