Can I close out my 401k and take the money?

Cashing out Your 401k while Still Employed If you resign or get fired, you can withdraw the money in your account, but again, there are penalties for doing so that should cause you to reconsider. You will be subject to 10% early withdrawal penalty and the money will be taxed as regular income. Dec 6, 2021
