What if I withdraw money from my IRA?

Generally, early withdrawal from an individual arrangement account (IRA) prior to age 59½ is subject to being included in gross income plus a 10 percent additional tax penalty. There are exceptions to the 10 percent penalty, such as using IRA funds to pay your medical insurance premium after a job loss. For more information, see Hardships, early withdrawals and loans .
