Answer 1/1 - Submitted 1/19/2010

10% penalty for early withdrawal, and the tax would be dependant on your marital status and the amount withdrawn because of our progressive tax tables.

For example, federal income tax for a single person in 2009:

•10% on income between $0 and $8,350
•15% on the income between $8,350 and $33,950; plus $835
•25% on the income between $33,950 and $82,250; plus $4,675
•28% on the income between $82,250 and $171,550; plus $16,750
•33% on the income between $171,550 and $372,950; plus $41,754
•35% on the income over $372,950; plus $108,216

Those are federal income taxes, your state taxes would also be due.
