Retirement tax questions

@dmertz 

 

I just wanted to be clear on this.  Any money I take out of the original Roth IRA is tax-free as this account has been open for a long time.   The Roth IRA that contains the after-tax rollover from my current 401-K was opened in 2022.  Do I need to wait 5 years before I withdraw any money from that Roth IRA for the distributions to be tax-free?   Should I continue to keep these two Roth IRAs separate for tax reasons?

 

Thanks for your help.  I don't want to screw this up.
