What kind of IRA is it? My understanding is that if it's a Roth IRA, you can take out the principal without penalty at any time. For example, let's say you had 10000 that you put in over a period of several years, from which you've earned 2000 in interest (so 12000 total). I'm pretty sure you can take out up to 10000 without early-withdrawal penalty.
Can someone confirm this?
