Tax reform is about simplifying the tax code and lowering taxes on beneficial activities while reducing tax leakages, or loss of revenue, and raising taxes on harmful activities.

It is a realization that the economy cannot grow and prosper by squeezing out taxes from the middle class.
Withdrawing your earnings is a different matter. Any money in a withdrawal that exceeds the amount of your original contributions is considered âearningsâ and is subject to possible penalties and taxes. The penalty for early withdrawal of earnings, except under certain specified conditions, is 10 percent of the earnings that you withdrew. In addition, you may have to pay income taxes on those withdrawals.
(Rollovers or transfers are not considered an IRA withdrawal.). An early withdrawal is an IRA withdrawal taken before you reach age 59 Â½, which is subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to ordinary income taxes.Below are eight situations which may qualify you for an exception to the 10% penalty tax on an IRA early withdrawal. You will still have to include any IRA withdrawal in your adjusted gross income. 2  If you inherit an IRA from a spouse, and you choose to treat it as your own IRA, then any IRA early withdrawal you receive will be subject to the 10% penalty tax.
