If you quit, are laid off your job, or your company closes its doors before you repay your loan, the IRS will consider your unpaid 401(k) loan balance an "early distribution" of retirement savings. If at all possible, repay the balance before the repayment deadline to avoid the taxes and penalty.
The loan's outstanding balance will be treated as income to you and you will be required to pay taxes on it. If you have a loan balance of $20,000, you could owe federal income taxes ranging from $2,000 to $7,000 or more, depending on your tax bracket. For example, if you are in the 28 percent tax bracket, your taxes would be $5,600. State taxes could also apply.
Distributions may be fully or partly taxable. If your plan includes nondeductible contributions that you made, that portion may not be taxed. However, it would still be subject to a penalty. TurboTax will ask questions to see if any of your distribution might be nondeductible.
If you are under the age of 59 ½, You will also be charged a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty. Using the example of a $20,000 loan, the penalty would be $2,000 in addition to the income tax.

Money that you have put in a 401k is your money. If the company matched any portion then you typical will need to be employed to for a set amount of time to be vested, normally 7 years, in order to get the company matched portion. If you are no longer with the company then the custodial company for your 401k may charge you a service fee to maintain your account.

If you were told by your attorney that your 401k was protected and exempt from bankruptcy and you borrowed on it to try and save your home now you are faced with paying taxes on it. can we sue?
Precious...you saw my last answer I should think....better read it again.What he told you is correct...and your 401k is still there and safe from BK.....if he told you it was OK to borrow against it and that the borrowed money would be safe from BK just like the 401k is ...that would be wrong and you may want to take action against him.....If you thought touching the 401k (as in borrowing against it) was the same as keeping it protected and safe...it's just your fault for not understanding what your doing.
