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.
However, if you cash out before you turn 59 1/2, you will owe income tax on the money withdrawn and a penalty for taking an early withdrawal. The implications of an early withdrawal depend on whether you have a traditional or Roth IRA.ut, if you withdraw earnings from the account, you pay taxes and early withdrawal penalties. For example, say your Roth IRA holds $15,000 of contributions and $5,000 of earnings. If you cash it all out, only the $5,000 of earnings counts as taxable income and is hit with the 10 percent penalty.
