Yes, you must begin withdrawing funds from your 401(k) by April 1 of the year following the year you turn 73, due to the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) rules established by the IRS. If you fail to take the required distributions, you may face severe tax penalties. However, if you are still working and do not own 5% or more of the company, you may be able to delay withdrawals until you retire.

How do you withdraw from your 401k after age 59?

The question should say "age 59 and 1/2 years." For whatever reason, 59.5 years is the age at which you can start withdrawing funds from your 401K without penalty. Before 59 and 1/2, the penalty for early withdrawal is 10% of the taxable amount of your withdrawal. You can also withdraw money from your fund without the 10% penalty if you are leaving your employer when you are at least 55 or you become disabled. If you are eligible to withdraw money from your fund then you have to pay income taxes on the withdrawal. However, you do not have to pay income taxes if the money you withdraw go into a different employer sponsored plan or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
