You pay taxes on the funds you withdraw from the 401k PLUS a 10% penalty


Are those the same fees I would pay if I rolled it over to a Roth IRA or would I just pay the taxes?

The taxes you pay regardless of whether you roll it over to a Roth IRA or to your personal bank account. You pay an additional 10% penalty if you do not roll the 401k over to an IRA and rather put the money in your bank account.

If you withdraw the money from the 401k you will pay tax and a 10% penalty on the earnings.

My advice:

1. Roll the 401k into a Rollover IRA at Scott.

2. Fund a Roth IRA there also after you have your emergency fund set up.

3. Invest in broad based mutual funds/etfs.
