    According to the IRS:

    "An emergency personal expense distribution is a distribution made from an applicable eligible retirement plan to an individual for purposes of meeting unforeseeable or immediate financial needs relating to necessary personal or family emergency expenses. An emergency personal expense distribution is includible in gross income, but it is not subject to the 10 percent additional tax under section 72(t)(1)."
