As a registered investment advisor with RFG Wealth Advisory, we specialize in full-service, comprehensive financial planning. We understand that unexpected circumstances may arise when you consider accessing your retirement account before the age of 59½. We are here to provide you with expert guidance to help you navigate this situation while avoiding the 10% early distribution penalty.
Questions to Ask About Retirement Account Withdrawals:
- Have you paid medical expenses worth more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income during this year?
- Are you currently planning to purchase your first home soon?
- Are you making payments for higher education expenses for yourself, your spouse, or your dependents?
Your responses will help assess your eligibility for early withdrawal exceptions and determine the most suitable strategies for your specific circumstances.
While accessing your retirement account prematurely should typically be a last resort, certain situations may necessitate exploring this option. However, qualifying for the exception is only the initial step. It is crucial to ensure that the exception applies to your specific retirement plan type, and the expense for which you are withdrawing funds must be paid within the same calendar year as the distribution.
