Looking for info on what fees and taxes are taken if/when a 401K is closed early.
Likely to be changing jobs and good chance there will be a break between old and new so weighing options. Thanks in advance for info!!

Likely your biggest cost is the opportunity cost of not having the money invested over the rest of your working life.

If you liquidate the account, you’ll owe income tax and a 10% penalty if you are under 59.5 years old.
You should look into rolling it over into an IRA to keep your money invested and avoid the taxes/penalty.

Also, your 401k will apply 20% mandatory withholding from taxable distributions. It’s best to roll to IRA and decide for yourself how much, if any, you’d like to withhold.

I think there is some sort of penalty of a 401k is rolled over after a 60 day period. Not sure tho.
