Can I Transfer Old IRA/401K Funds Into MY SD IRA/401K?

Question: rules on withdrawing money from an IRA before age 59 1/2?

Answer: For a 401K, unless it’s for a true hardship, you will pay a stiff penalty. Check with your plan administrator but I believe it’s around 25%, plus you will have to pay taxes on the amount if if was on a pretax plan and lose the the money’s ability to work for you in the inventment. Unless you have absolutely no other option, it’s really best to leave the money alone. You’ll be glad you did later.

Question: Early Withdrawal From Roth IRA Question?

The value of my Roth IRA currently is less than what it was when I first opened the account. If I withdraw the money today, will I still be charged an early withdrawal penalty?

Answer: no. you’ve already paid taxes on your contributions. you can actually take your contributions out at any time for any reason completely tax free in a Roth. you only ever have to pay the penalty on earnings, which in your case doesn’t even apply.

but i would suggest that you use this as a last resort. this is a retirement account. you can’t just put all the money back into it if you change your mind.

there won’t be any tax penalties, but the opportunity cost will be huge.
