How much tax do you pay when you withdraw from your IRA?
If you withdraw money from a traditional IRA before you turn 59 ½, you must pay a 10% tax penalty (with a few exceptions), in addition to regular income taxes. Plus, the IRA withdrawal would be taxed as regular income, and could possibly propel you into a higher tax bracket, costing you even more.
Does IRA withdrawal count as income?

However, if you take a nonqualified withdrawal, you also pay an early withdrawal tax penalty of 10 percent.
Can I transfer money from my IRA to my checking account?

Do I need to report the transfer or rollover of an IRA or retirement plan on my tax return?
