10% premature 401k exception - emergency up to $1000

JOHNNYCPA
Level 3

in preparing 5329 exceptions.  I have client that withdrew $25,000 from 401k ( under 59.5 years) .  about $5,000 was used for emergency repair on his vehicle. Can I use up to $1,000 for emegency exception so that only $24,000 is hit with 10% penalty/

 

Thanks,

 

John

That's my understanding.  Looks like Pub 590-B is not out yet for 2024 but there's a Notice you can review:

See if any of the Q&A are on point.  You may get different answers depending on whether or not the plan has been amended to allow for EPEDs.
