If you do not meet any of the Exceptions to Tax on Early Distributions you will pay a 10% penalty on the amount of the distribution
There is a maximum you you can contribute to your IRA during a tax year. In 2019 if you are under age 50 you can contribute up to $6,000. If you are 50 or older you can contribute up to $7,000. When the amount you contribute exceeds the maximum you will pay an excise penalty of 6% for each year the excess remains in the IRA.
