When claiming a withdrawl from your 401k what is the percent of income tax you have to pay?
If you withdraw money from your 401k plan, it will be taxed just like any other income. So, the amount that you will pay will depend on what tax bracket the withdrawal pushes you into.
If you do not meet one of the exceptions, you will also be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. This penalty is charged by the IRS and it is reported on your tax return for the year of the withdrawal.
So, if you are in a 25% tax bracket and you are subject to the early withdrawal penalty, you are going to pay a total of 35% of the withdrawal in Federal income tax.
If you live in a State that has state income tax, remember that you will need to pay that too.
What else can I help you with?
Are 401K contributions tax deductible?
401k's are not tax-deductible in the normal sense of the word. However, since normal 401k contributions are made with pre-tax funds, taxable income is reduced. As taxable income is reduced, tax is then reduced as well.
Does a 401k early withdrawal have to be counted as earned income?
Yes it is income, plus you will be assessed a penalty.
Can you deduct losses on your 401k on yearly tax return?
No these amounts are only paper losses and you never have reported the deferred compensation amounts on your 1040 Federal income tax return as taxable income and never paid any income taxes on the amount so you do not have any cost basis in the 401K plan YET and these transactions losses or gains are only taking place inside of the 401K plan each year. This is the same thing that happens in the year that you have gains inside of your 401K plan you do NOT report the amount of gains as taxable income on your income tax return either because the transaction are taking place INSIDE of the 401K plan.
How much will you get taxed if you took out of your 401k before retirement?
This depends on many different factors that you are not giving us in your question. If you withdraw money from your 401(k) before the age 59.5 then you will have a 10% tax penalty plus you will have to pay taxes on the amount as ordinary income. If you are over 59.5 years of age or if you meet certain exemptions you may not have to pay the penalty, you will still have to pay income tax on the withdrawl.

401K Withdrawal?
Are you thinking about withdrawing money from a 401k you might have? If so, you might consider the consequences of withdrawing that money first. There are many fees and penalties that you have to pay if you take out the money too early. Another consequence to think about is how early withdrawal from a retirement fund will impact your future.You Have To Pay Income TaxAny money that you get in a given year is subject to an income tax. When it comes to taking money out of your 401k policy, you have to pay the same tax you would pay on any other income. So, if you were in the 15 percent tax bracket, you would have to pay 15 percent of that income in taxes. A 10,000 dollar withdrawal would mean paying 1,500 dollars in taxes.10 Percent Penalty On Early Withdrawals
