Just lost my job and need to take money from my IRA to cover my mortgage. Is there a way of doing this without being penalized 10%?

Welcome Trishtroxler,

What type of IRA is it? if it's an Individual Retirement account and you're taking out money to make mortgage payment, then I'm afraid there's no way you can avoid the 10% penalty except if you're 59 and 1/2 years old.

Yes -- check with your fund! Normally, if monies redeemed/withdrawn are repaid to the fund within a certain time frame, your use of the money is not considered taxable at year-end. Otherwise, certainly you get taxed for redeeming your savings, even for use as mortgage payments.
