Yes, the IRS says you can withdraw some or all of your 401-k for a few different reasons. One caveat though, your company plan may not allow it.
Just because the IRS says you can, ultimately it is the rules within your company plan.
Most plans will allow you to borrow some money or withdraw for hardships.

What you do is deposit money into the 401k during your entire working career. Then, when you retire, the money is there for you to live on (provided that you don't withdraw any money). Social security and any pension you get is not enough to live on in this economy. With the 401k, you can have extra funds when you aren't working.

To withdraw funds from a Vanguard 401k for a home purchase, you must be a first-time homebuyer or have not owned a home in the past two years. You can withdraw up to 10,000 penalty-free for this purpose, but you will still need to pay income tax on the amount withdrawn.
Yes, you can take money out of your 401(k) while still working for your employer at age 62, but it depends on your employer's plan rules. Some plans allow for in-service withdrawals, while others may not. If permitted, you might face taxes and penalties if you withdraw funds before age 59½, unless you qualify for specific exceptions. It's advisable to consult with your plan administrator for details specific to your situation.
No, you do not pay taxes on employer 401k contributions until you withdraw the money from the account.
The main difference in tax implications between a traditional 401k and a Roth 401k is when you pay taxes on the money. With a traditional 401k, you contribute money before taxes, so you pay taxes when you withdraw the money in retirement. With a Roth 401k, you contribute money after taxes, so you don't pay taxes when you withdraw the money in retirement.
Typically, you cannot withdraw money from your 401(k) at age 59½ if you are still employed by the company sponsoring the plan, especially if you have an outstanding loan against it. Most 401(k) plans restrict in-service withdrawals while you are still employed. However, some plans may allow for hardship withdrawals or loans to be repaid, but this varies by plan. It's essential to check your specific plan's rules or consult with your HR department for clarity.
