Early Withdrawal Penalty
If a participant under the age of 59.5 wishes to take a distribution and it has been less than two years since their first contribution into the plan, they could be penalized up to 25% (10% if more than two years) by the Internal Revenue Service. This two-year rule applies to all distributions, including rollovers from the SIMPLE IRA. Any amount withdrawn and not rolled over, regardless of age, is also be subject to ordinary income tax for the year in which the distribution is made.

“Franklin said once in one of his inspired flights of malignity—

—Roger Gould (20th century)
“[I support] term limits for career politicians and the death penalty for career politicians.”
