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.

When can I withdraw money from my 401(k)?

You can begin withdrawing money from your traditional 401 (k) without penalty when you turn 59 ½ — but you still have to pay taxes on the withdrawal because you didn't pay income taxes on it back when you put it in the account.

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.
