Can you withdraw funds from your IRA account at anytime?

Yes. But there may be penalties for early withdrawal. And, if it is a traditional IRA there will also be federal (and maybe state) income taxes due, as well as a ten percent penalty to the IRS under most cases, if the withdrawal is made before age 59 1/2. For a roth IRA, there also may be penalties for early withdrawal, but there will be no taxes due if all you withdraw is the amount you originally deposited. Once you are 59 1/2, you may withdraw even the gain without taxes.
