Are taxes automatically taken out of 401k withdrawal?

Taxes will be withheld. The IRS generally requires automatic withholding of 20% of a 401(k) early withdrawal for taxes. So if you withdraw the $10,000 in your 401(k) at age 40, you may get only about $8,000. The IRS will penalize you. Mar 16, 2022
