I just want to know if I can deduct the penalty I was charged for rolling over my traditional IRA before it matured to another traditional IRA to get a better interest rate.

Only an early-withdrawal penalty reported in box 2 of Form 1099-INT is deductible. An early-distribution penalty on an investment within an IRA is not reported on Form 1099-INT because the investment in the IRA is owned by the IRA, a tax-exempt entity, not by you personally.
