What is an early withdrawal penalty?
An early withdrawal penalty is interest or principal that was forfeited because of an early withdrawal of funds from a time-based savings account.
For example, if you withdraw a certificate of deposit (CD) early, you may have to pay a penalty or forfeit interest you would have received.
The IRS allows you to deduct this amount on Schedule 1 as an adjustment to income, which will lower your AGI and the taxes you'll have to pay. We'll automatically deduct this amount for you on your return.
