Retirement tax questions

@twb-53  you can ALWAYS distribute money from your Roth IRA.  The real question whether there are tax implications

 

Since you are over 59.5, there is NEVER a 10% penalty. 

 

The CONTRIBUTIONS and CONVERSIONS dollars can be distributed tax free.  

 

The EARNINGS are subject to INCOME TAX if any Roth you own has not been open for 5 calendar years.

 

On distributions, the IRS assumes all the CONTRIBUTIONS are distributed first, all the CONVERSION dollars are distributed 2nd, and then and only then are the earning distributed.
