Also, under a profit-sharing plan, the employer makes all of the investment decisions for the plan and the employees do not participate directly in those decisions.

Under the 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act, certain homeowners can withdraw up to $10,000 penalty free from an individual retirement account (IRA) for a down payment to purchase a principal residence (though you might have to pay income tax on the amount withdrawn). If you have a Roth IRA, however, you must have had the account for five years to make tax-free withdrawals. This $10,000 is a lifetime limit -- and the money must be used within 120 days of the date you receive it.

In many instances, as long as the shares were purchased during the class period. However, you should make sure the Plan is not filing a claim on behalf of all class purchases.

There are penalties for withdrawals before age 59½, as well as rules that dictate when you must begin withdrawing money.

Funds in a retirement account would be considered an asset. Any distributions from a retirement account, monthly or lump-sum, should be treated as income as these funds were not previously taxed.
