Do 401(k) withdrawals count as income?

401 (k) withdrawals don't count as income for determining your Social Security benefits. However, it could boost your income to the point that you are in a higher tax bracket, meaning your Social Security benefits are taxed at a higher rate.

Are 401(k) Withdrawals tax deductible?

Early withdrawals are subject to income tax and potentially a 10% early withdrawal penalty. All traditional 401 (k) plan withdrawals are considered income and subject to income tax as 401 (k) contributions are made with pretax dollars. As a result, retirement savers enjoy a lower taxable income in the years that they contribute.

Does a 401(k) withdrawal affect social security?

Since a 401 (k) comes from an employer and Social Security comes from the government, these two sources of income are completely separate. However, a 401 (k) withdrawal can affect your adjusted gross income (AGI) and therefore how much of your Social Security is taxed.
