To Do List
What Are My Withdrawal Options?
>
Back to Article
Here's a quick list of items you should make sure to address when dealing with your question or concern.
Consult your employer's summary-plan description to find out which withdrawal options are available. You should make yourself familiar with this important document in any case.
If necessary, discuss options with a tax advisor or financial consultant. If you have multiple retirement accounts, it may be preferable to withdraw from one over another first.
If you are nearing 70 1/2 years of age, be sure to calculate and observe minimum-distribution requirements to avoid stiff penalties. See IRS Publication 939 for more details.
