Retirement tax questions

If you're over 65 and made a withdrawal from your Roth IRA for the first time in 2024, the status of your account matters due to IRS rules:

  1. 5-Year Rule: Roth IRAs must be open for at least five years to withdraw earnings tax-free
  2. Qualified Distributions: Withdrawals after age 59½ are tax-free if the account meets the 5-year rule
