    Yes you can, but there is a 10% federal income tax penalty for early withdrawal from an IRA.


    Since you are unemployed you may NOT have a tax liability for 2011, if your adjusted gross income is low. 


    In an average year, since the Bush tax rate cuts, the bottom tax rate was reduced to 10% from 15%,  around 49% of all workers have NO income  tax liberty because if low income.  Some even get a refund GREATER than the amount of income taxes withheld during the year


    Consult a tax Attorney there are a few limited exceptions to the 10% penalty law.
