You got this—all you have to do is start!
We make filing taxes delightfully simple with our flat–rate price. Every feature included for everyone.
Start filingIn order to avoid penalties, you can take a qualified distribution at least 5 years after the first contributions were made, and you must be at least 59½ years old. You’ll owe a 10% penalty on the distribution if you withdraw before that time.
Unlike a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA is taxed on the front end, meaning that you will pay taxes on any contributions, but distributions are tax-free. However, you will still owe the 10% penalty on early distributions.
