If you withdraw $2,500 from your retirement account before the age of 59.5, you will incur a 10% penalty from the IRS.

To calculate the penalty:

1. Determine 10% of the amount withdrawn:
\[
10\% \text{ of } 2500 = 0.10 \times 2500 = 250
\]

So, the IRS fee you will have to pay is $250.

The correct answer is **D. $250.00**.
