Retirement Taxes

Question: Can I use Itemized deductions to offset taxes on early retirement withdrawal?
For Example: If I have no income for this year, but have $40K in deductions, can I withdrawal 40K from my retirement account (SEP), and only have to incur the 10% penalty?
Answer: In theory yes.
Run the numbers on a dummy return–particularly if any of your deductions are based on AGI. (Medical, unreimbursed employee business expenses.)
