Concerned asked:


My husband has been out of work and we have separate 401k plans but need to take a lump sum from his plan to help with the bills or we won’t have a place to live.
1. How long does this process take?
2. We want to opt for the 10% and 20% tax and penalty to be taken out before the disbursement. Will we be taxed or penalized again on it when we file our taxes?

Can I deduct from my 401K to pay taxes due to the IRS without a penalty?

I owe the IRS 7K for taxes this year. The money I owe is for taking an early withdrawal from our 401K to fix the bathroom. I’m not sure it counts as a hardship, but the bathroom was mold infested and needed to be gutted everything replaced. Can i take more money out of my 401K to pay the taxes due and not have to incurr another penalty?

Hey, I have a question about taxes on Savings Bonds and Stocks?

stocks and bonds
Jeremy asked:


I recently cashed out some Stocks and Savings Bonds and was wondering how much I had to save for taxes. I cashed out $6,750 in Savings Bonds and $4,500 Stocks. I’m gonna file single and no taxes have been paid on any of the stocks or bonds and this is for 2007. Is it still 10% up to $7825 then 15% on the rest? If that is my only income in 2007 am I right that I’ll owe roughly $1,300 for 2007? Doesn’t have to be exact just making sure I save what I’ll need to pay for taxes so I won’t be in debt. This is the 1st time I’ve messed with stocks and bonds (Oh yeah, They were EE bonds) and not sure about taxes on them. Thanx

Bala Gopalakrishnan asked:


I have a 401K that is vested for around 100000 US$ and I am allowed to take it after I leave the employer. I do plan to go back to India. Is it possible to take 15,000 $ per year and avoid paying federal and state taxes ( Since Iam out of country and not a resident + it falls with less income per annum). Is there a penalty that I have to pay while taking money out. I will have closed all my bank accounts except this IRA/401K account and so how would I pay the penalty and any taxes that might occur. Please advice.

What happens if you cash your 401K and run away forever?

tooty1117 asked:


I received distribution of a portion of my 2006 401k contributions in early 2007 because of failure of 401k plan for high income earners. I reported this on my 2006 taxes. I received a 1099R in 2008 for 2007. How do I report this since I’ve already included it in 2006 taxes?
