Can I borrow my IRA money?
Unfortunately, whether you have a standard or Roth IRA, there is no such thing as an IRA loan. Individual retirement arrangements, or IRAs, are not set up in the same way as 401(k) accounts and other employer-sponsored retirement plans, which allow members to borrow and repay a debt over time.
In fact, if you remove assets from your IRA before reaching the age of 591/2, you may be subject to IRS penalties. However, in certain circumstances, you may be allowed to withdraw funds without incurring a penalty.
