Hardship withdrawals are limited to two per calendar year and can only be taken from assets held in accounts at Fidelity. Participants should call the Fidelity Retirement Service Center at 1.800.343.0860 to request a hardship withdrawal. Participants must submit appropriate supporting documentation to Fidelity prior to being approved to receive a hardship distribution. If the distribution is approved, a suspension of the participantâs voluntary contributions (and any associated match) will be implemented for a minimum of six months.
Hardship withdrawals from 401(k)s can be used to pay for tuition and related educational expenses. However, hardship distributions from traditional retirement accounts taken by people under age 59Â½ are subject to a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty in addition to income tax on the amount withdrawn. worker in the 25 percent tax bracket who withdrawals $10,000 from an IRA for college expenses will owe $2,500 in federal income tax on the distribution. However, if the money is withdrawn from a Roth IRA before age 59Â½, income tax will be due only on the portion of the withdrawal that comes from investment earnings.
