Retirement tax questions

tko54321, your statement regarding Roth IRAs is incorrect, or at least badly phrased.  Earnings that remain inside a Roth account of any type, including a Roth IRA, are not reportable on your individual income tax return.  Only distributions from retirement accounts are reportable on your individual income tax return, with only the taxable amount adding to AGI.  This is true for all types of retirement accounts.
