    I am not sure what a 72t payment is, but you can not legally take money out of an IRA without major penalties until you are 59 1/2 years old. Also, most retirement funds are protected in bankruptcies so if you are bad enough that you want to raid your retirement, I would think about filing for bankruptcy.

    If you modify your payment method once it begins, the 10% penalty, plus interest, will be applied retroactively beginning with the first year of distribution. Therefore, you cannot take more than the scheduled yearly amount without a huge penalty.
