But you should still think twice before running to withdraw your savings.
The Internal Revenue Service announced on Friday more Americans will be able to withdraw money from their retirement accounts if they were affected by the coronavirus, either financially or physically.
As part of the response to the coronavirus crisis, which has burdened the economy and taken millions of Americans out of work, the government said in April retirement savers could take qualified distributions of up to $100,000 in retirement assets, including 401 plans and individual retirement accounts. In normal circumstances, individuals could distribute a maximum of $50,000. Investors could also take up to $100,000 as a loan from a 401, up from the usual $50,000 limit.
To be eligible for the distribution or loan, Americans had to be impacted by the crisis. Examples include becoming ill with COVID-19 or getting laid off from work. Under the expansion, the IRS said people who had a job offer rescinded or a delayed start date are now eligible as well. The new rules also allow spouses or household members to take these distributions if someone in the home was affected. Employers can choose to implement these coronavirus-related distributions and loans or not, though individuals can claim the tax benefits regardless, the IRS stated.
The full impact of the coronavirus on retirement savings and security is still unknown, but nearly half of workers say they expect to withdraw from their assets because of it, a Principal Financial Group survey found. Around 15% of people said they’ll tap into their emergency savings, 13% said they’d take the money from their employer-based retirement plans, 4% said they’ll raid their IRAs and another 4% said they’ll use their Health Savings Accounts.
