curious mind asked:


My boyfriend is only 21 years old with a significant amount of $$$ in his 401k and hes thinking about getting a new car. Should he withdraw from his 401k account or get a loan from his 401k account?

Do you have to report a 401k account if you never withdrew from it?

JustAGuy asked:


My employer set up 401k accounts for us and contributed a set amount to it. As of right now, neither I or my employer contribute to this account (I just found out about it). There is approximately $60 in the account. I am not sure how to report this or if you need to report this on Federal and state taxes (I am in NJ). I did not receive any form other then the account statement from the 401K provider.

I deposited a check from a 401k that I was changing and they took out taxes. Will I get penalized?
