在55歲退休 - 你可以在55歲時從401k取出錢而不會受到懲罰

當你55歲或以後離開你的工作

年齡59½分配規則表明，任何401k參與者可以在達到59½歲之後開始從他或她的計劃中取款，而無需支付10％的提前退出罰款。

但是，該規則有一個例外，即允許退休，退出或在55歲時被解僱的員工從401k退出而不受處罰（“55規則”）。退休人員需要了解三個關鍵點。

首先，根據IRS出版物575，如果您在55歲或更晚的日曆年中的任何時間離開您的工作，則適用此例外情況。

第二，如果你仍然有前雇主的計劃中的錢，並假設你離開雇主時至少年滿55歲，你將不得不等到年齡59½才開始取款而不受處罰。更好的是，在您退出當前工作之前，讓任何舊的401k進入當前的401k，這樣您就可以免費獲得這些資金。

第三，此例外僅適用於從401k提取的資金。 IRA在不同的規則下運作，因此如果您退休並在年齡59½之前從您的401k匯入IRA，您將在這些美元上失去此例外。

Leaving Your Job On or After Age 55

The age 59½ distribution rule says any 401k participant may begin to withdraw money from his or her plan after reaching the age of 59½ without having to pay a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty.

There is an exception to that rule, however, which allows an employee who retires, quits or is fired at age 55 to withdraw without penalty from their 401k (the “rule of 55”). There are three key points early retirees need to know.

First, this exception applies if you leave your job at any time during the calendar year in which you turn 55, or later, according to IRS Publication 575.

Second, if you still have money in the plan of a former employer and assuming you weren’t at least age 55 when you left that employer, you’ll have to wait until age 59½ to start taking withdrawals without penalty. Better yet, get any old 401k’s rolled into your current 401k before you retire from your current job so that you will have access to these funds penalty free.

Third, this exception only applies to funds withdrawn from a 401k. IRAs operate until different rules, so if you retire and roll money into an IRA from your 401k before age 59½, you will lose this exception on those dollars.
