Withdrawing from a 403b plan before retirement can have significant financial consequences. Generally, withdrawals from a 403b plan before the age of 59 and a half are subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to regular income tax. However, there are some exceptions to this penalty, such as if the withdrawal is made due to certain medical expenses or if the participant is permanently disabled.
It's important to note that a 403b plan is intended to be a retirement savings vehicle, so withdrawing funds before retirement should be a last resort. If you withdraw funds before retirement, you'll miss out on the potential growth and compounding of those funds over time. Additionally, if you withdraw funds in a lump sum, you may be pushed into a higher tax bracket, which could result in a higher tax bill.
If you're considering withdrawing from your 403b plan before retirement, it's important to speak with a financial advisor to understand the potential impact on your financial situation and explore other options, such as taking out a loan from your plan or exploring other sources of funds.
