Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Withdrawals are always taken in the order of contributions first, conversions second, and earnings last.

 

Contributions can always be withdrawn tax-free no matter your age.

 

If conversions are withdrawn less than 5 years after the conversion AND you are under age 59-1/2, there is a 10% penalty for early withdrawal.

 

If earning are withdrawn and you are less than age 59-1/2, OR you are any age but it has been less than 5 years since you opened your first Roth IRA, the earnings are taxable, plus a 10% penalty for early withdrawal if under age 59-1/2.

 

If you are over age 59-1/2 and it has been more than 5 years since you opened your first Roth IRA, all withdrawals are always tax-free.  There is no annual limit.
