A lot of the answer depends on your age. If you are younger than 59 1/2 you will have a 10 % penalty on the amount you withdraw from your 401K and the amount will be regarded as income in your income tax return. If you are older than 59 1/2 you can start to make withdrawals from your 401K but there are regulations the IRS has on how much you can withdraw each year depending on your age.

Can you withdrawl your money from a CD account early?

Sure you can. It's your money and your account and you can close it anytime you wish. However, if you are closing your deposit account before its intended maturity date the bank can charge you a small penalty on the interest component for doing so. But the original money you deposited will not be touched and will be refunded in full when you close the account.


Is a Certificate of Deposit considered a security?

No, CDs (certificates of deposit) are not considered securities. It's sort of like a savings account, but with some special conditions. You put money away in a "designated account" to obtain a CD, and that account will earn an elevated rate of interest over "regular" savings accounts. The catch is that you have to leave the deposit in for a fixed term to earn that higher rate of interest, and you'll suffer heavy penalties for early withdrawl of the fungs. There are variables based on how much you put in, how long you commit to leaving it in, and how soon you might wish to remove all or part of it (and, thereby, incur the penalty).

Can an employer withdraw funds from an employee's bank account?

No. Unless the employer is a signer on the account s/he can not withdraw funds from the account. There are very serious penalties for anyone either taking money or giving money from someone else's bank account. An employer can, however, reverse a direct deposit made into an employee's bank account, so it can seem like a withdrawal, but it really isn't. (For example, if a direct deposit were made in an incorrect amount, it could be reversed for the purpose of correcting it.)

how can i access my 401k from previous employment?

Accessing your 401(k) from a previous employer involves several options: Leave It Alone: You can leave your 401(k) with your previous employer's plan if the balance is above a certain threshold. It will continue to grow, but you won't be able to make additional contributions. Roll It Over: You can roll over your 401(k) into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or into your new employer's retirement plan, if they allow it. This maintains the tax-advantaged status and potentially offers more investment options. Cash Out: You can cash out your 401(k) balance, but this may result in taxes, early withdrawal penalties, and loss of future growth. It's generally not recommended unless necessary. To access your 401(k), contact your former employer's HR department or plan administrator for guidance and necessary paperwork. Consider tax implications, fees, and long-term impact on retirement savings before deciding. Consulting with a financial advisor is advisable.
