I am 49 years old and have been unemployed in 2015 with zero income. I am considering withdrawing $10,000 from my 401k to pay for elective medical issues not covered by insurance. I believe this amount is below the income threshold for filing a tax return and that penalties for early withdrawal from a 401k are waived for medical reasons when no other funds are available. Can you confirm if this is correct and explain the tax implications of this withdrawal?
