Deep dives
Understanding Roth IRA Contributions and Withdrawals
Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars, which allows the account to grow tax-free under certain conditions. Withdrawals of contributions can be made at any time without tax or penalty, regardless of age, making Roth IRAs unique compared to other retirement accounts. However, earnings withdrawn before the age of 59 and a half or before the account has been open for five years will incur taxes. This flexibility reinforces the appeal of Roth accounts for individuals seeking accessible retirement savings options.
