Before 2023, limited circumstances allowed early withdrawals from retirement accounts. Since this year, under the SECURE Act 2.0, penalty-free withdrawals of up to $1,000 for personal emergencies are permitted.
The law broadened the definition of emergency expenses and simplified the process for withdrawals, but income tax is still applicable if the funds are not repaid, with additional exceptions for disaster relief and specific hardships.
