It doesn't eliminate the taxes but it does eliminate the 10% penalty. I have used it when I was unemployed for COBRA and I think once for my son's college tuition.

Other things you need to consider are the rules your company has set up -- if they allow you to take a straight disbursement vs borrowing and what the payback rules are. 2|1|IRS defines "hardship" rules|brainyblonde|brainyblonde410@gmail.com|17:19:03|09/19/2011|
