What You Need to Know About Roth IRA Distribution
A Roth IRA distribution can be very complicated, you may need a little help on what to expect and what you need to know.
This article will tell of the rules of the Roth IRA distribution and will allow you to have a minimal understanding of how they work.
Here are some of the questions that you may have, followed by the answers to them.
What If you Have Multiple IRA's? If you have more than one Roth IRA you will need to treat them as one.
You will not be able to change the order of distribution if you withdraw from different ones so if you made more than one annual contribution and you decide to withdraw, what you withdraw will come from your annual contribution even if you are withdrawing from an IRA that does not have annual contributions.
When can you make your withdrawal? You can get your IRA distribution at any time, there are cases though where you will have to pay a penalty if you take it too soon but you are not forbidden from taking it ever unless there is an order by the court stating that you may not receive such distributions.
Is There a Particular Time When I Must Withdraw? This depends on the type of IRA that you have, if it is a traditional IRA you are required to take distributions beginning at 70+ years.
For a Roth IRA you do not take a distribution instead it is the beneficiaries that are required to take the distribution after you die.
Are the Distributions Taxable? If it is a regular contribution then you can withdraw at any time and the amount you withdraw will be free of tax.
There is something that is called the "taxable portion of a conversion" this is only put in place if the total withdrawals exceed the total contributions.
Under this scheme if you withdraw before the 1st day of the year of the conversion you will receive a tax free amount but will have to pay a early withdrawal fee of 10% if you are under 59 years old.
In the fifth year of the conversion you can get an IRA distribution without tax and penalty.
If you have a rollover after you receive your taxable distributions any amount to be withdrawn after that will be without tax and penalty.
