Know the penalties

Since 401ks are designed to help you save for retirement, there are stiff penalties for taking your money out early. Withdrawals are subject to IRS guidelines. You will owe income taxes on the total amount and, if you're younger than 59½, also may owe a 10 percent early-withdrawal penalty.
