With a few exceptions, early withdrawals from traditional or Roth IRAs generally incur a tax penalty equal to 10% of the taxable amount. To calculate the penalty on an early withdrawal, simply multiply the taxable distribution amount by 10%. An early distribution of $10,000, for example, would incur a $1,000 tax penalty.
If, however, you opened your Roth IRA less than five years ago, the withdrawal is an early distribution. As with a traditional IRA early withdrawal, a Roth holder can use the first-home exception to avoid the 10 percent penalty but might owe tax on earnings that are withdrawn.or both types of retirement plans, the IRS generally considers IRA withdrawals made before you reach age 59 1/2 as premature distributions. In addition to owing any tax that might be due on the money, you could face a 10 percent penalty charge on the amount.
