Buying or selling shares, and other account tasks
Under “Service and support” on capitalgroup.com you’ll find buying/selling shares, tax forms, document submission, and a tool to locate a financial professional near you — most of these require signing in to your account first. Note that withdrawals from a non-Roth balance are generally taxable, and an early-withdrawal penalty can apply before age 59½ — for anything tax-specific to your situation, that’s worth confirming with a tax professional rather than general guidance.
Getting help
American Funds’ contact numbers are listed on capitalgroup.com — confirm there rather than relying on a number found elsewhere.
