Since you are under the age of 59 and a half, you are likely subject to a 10 percent IRS penalty for early withdrawal of the Simplified Employee Pension (SEP-IRA). This 10 percent penalty is in addition to the ordinary income tax you would normally pay if you withdrew from your SEP-IRA after you passed the aforementioned age threshold.
If you're an employee of a company that offers a SEP IRA, your contributions count toward your traditional IRA contribution limit rather than the limit for defined contribution plans. For example, as of 2013, you can contribute up to $6,500 if you're 50 or older, or $5,500 if you're younger than 50.
