How To Avoid IRA Early Withdrawal Penalties

How to avoid IRA early withdrawal penalties.

Hi Reader,

Thinking about tapping into your IRA early?

If you're under 59½, you’ll typically face a 10% penalty—on top of income taxes.

For a complete list of penalty exceptions, click the button below:

📢 New Penalty Exceptions (Secure Act 2.0)

✅ Terminal Illness – No penalty with physician documentation.

✅ Domestic Abuse – Withdraw up to $10,000 penalty-free (repay within 3 years).

✅ Natural Disasters – Up to $22,000 penalty-free; taxes spread over 3 years.

✅ Financial Emergencies – $1,000/year withdrawal, no proof required.

If you have questions about withdrawing from your retirement account, please let me know. I'm happy to help.

Best regards,


David
