Hi richie.

The loan needs to be paid first. BTW why do you want to close the account. Why do you want to close the Retirement Account?

Post     Post subject: 403b loan penalty

A coworker defalted on a 403b loan and the amount of the loan was reported as income to the IRS. The company will no longer accept payments and tell her she has to pay the loan back in full and she will still have to pay the 10% penalty along with the income tax. Is this correct?

Hi s.biggs,

When a person defaults on a 403b loan, the unpaid debt is considered as an early distribution and hence one has to pay taxes and penalty if he's under 59 and 1/2 years of age.

Post     Post subject: retirement

a friend of mine is getting ready to retire soon. He is over 59 and 1/2 years old. 403b totals around 160,000. wants to borrow against the account around 30,000 to pay off bills. Any suggestions on how he could invest his money to make it last as long as possible and live off some of the interest...

thanks for blog

You mean you'd like to invest from your 403b plan account after paying off the bills? You can invest in real estate or mutual funds. But I suppose you should talk to a financial advisor in this regard.

Hi Sue!

As far as I know, you can take loans on 403B. However, you will be charged interest on that. Failure to pay it will lead to penalty as well.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi Jack!

Yes, you can contribute to the both simultaneously. You can deduct the IRA contribution or not will depend on a variety of factors. However, if you can contribute to the Roth IRA will depend on your income.

Thanks,

Jerry

Hi j!

Normally you cannot borrow from you retirement account when you are working and I don't think you can consider this as a collateral. You can check the following link for a discussion on the strs retirement account.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks.
