An early withdrawal from a Tax-deferred Account is a withdrawal made before the age of 59 1/2. In addition to paying personal income taxes on early withdrawals the IRS assesses a 10% early withdrawal penalty. However, early withdrawals that are made at regular intervals are exempt from the 10% penalty.
