What if I need to withdraw money from a traditional IRA before I retire? If you're under age of 59-and-a-half, withdrawals may be subject to federal and state income taxes plus a 10% federal tax penalty. However, you can make withdrawals without paying a tax penalty in any one of these circumstances: You use the money for a first-time home purchase. (There's a $10,000 lifetime limit.) You become disabled. You face medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You are in the category of unemployed individuals permitted to use the funds to pay for health insurance premiums. You use the money for certain qualified education expenses. You use the money for a first-time home purchase. (There's a $10,000 lifetime limit.) You become disabled. You face medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You are in the category of unemployed individuals permitted to use the funds to pay for health insurance premiums. You use the money for certain qualified education expenses.
