[quote=“Dr.Stevil,post:40,topic:39907"”]

AFAIK, it’s tax free… but if you withdrawl early it’s taxed.

Although, from what I understand, if you need the cash from a heardship or for buying a house or something, it’s not taxed, but you have to pay it back in?

someone else could probably answer that better

usually if something goes in pre tax it gets taxed on the way out, and vise verse.

you don’t think the feds are going to pass up their cut do you?
