You can take distributions from your IRA (including your SEP-IRA or SIMPLE-IRA) at any time. There is no need to show a hardship to take a distribution. However, your distribution will be includible in your taxable income and it may be subject to a 10% additional tax if you're under age 59 1/2.
If you're 59½ or older, you're allowed to withdraw from your IRA without penalty. The IRS does not require you to withdraw from a Traditional or Rollover IRA until you reach the age of 72. However, depending on your account type (Traditional or Roth), you may be taxed on your withdrawal.
Here's how to minimize 401(k) and IRA withdrawal taxes in retirement:
If you withdraw money from a traditional IRA before you turn 59 ½, you must pay a 10% tax penalty (with a few exceptions), in addition to regular income taxes. Plus, the IRA withdrawal would be taxed as regular income, and could possibly propel you into a higher tax bracket, costing you even more.
Once you reach age 70 1/2, the IRS requires you to take distributions from a traditional IRA. While you are still free to take out money as often as you like, after you reach this age, the IRS requires at least one withdrawal per calendar year. The minimum amount is based on your life expectancy and your account value.
Age 59½ and over: No withdrawal restrictions
Once you reach age 59½, you can withdraw funds from your Traditional IRA without restrictions or penalties.

The IRS allows penalty-free withdrawals from retirement accounts after age 59 ½ and requires withdrawals after age 72 (these are called Required Minimum Distributions, or RMDs). There are some exceptions to these rules for 401ks and other qualified plans.
Although the IRS counts your IRA distributions as income to determine how much taxes you owe, the Social Security Administration does not count them as income.
Your monthly withdrawal from your IRA will be treated as taxable income, but you'll be receiving a tax deduction for the majority of your mortgage payment, essentially eliminating the income tax consequences.
When you withdraw money from your IRA or employer-sponsored retirement plan, your state may require you to have income tax withheld from your distribution. Your withholding is a pre-payment of your state income tax that serves as a credit toward your current-year state income tax liability.
An IRA transfer (or IRA rollover) refers to when you transfer money from an individual retirement account (IRA) to a different account.
