If you take money out of your IRA and you pay your 10 percent penalty on the total amount what taxes would you have to pay?

Early withdraw of money from a traditional IRA before you reach the age of 59.5 is subjected to the 10% penalty and is treated as normal income for the year that you receive the withdraw. IRA distributions are subject to current taxes even in retirement. The benefit comes in that the money grew tax free and you will most likely be in a lower tax bracket during retirement than you were while working full time.
