Retirement tax questions

You should not owe taxes on the income withdrawn from your Roth IRA as long as it has also been at least 5 years since your first contribution to the account

.

For a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k) withdrawal to be entirely tax-free you must be over the age of 59 1/2 and meet the 5-year holding requirement. 

 

Even if your Roth IRA distribution is tax-free, you should enter the information provided on your 1099-R into TurboTax.  The code in Box 7 of form 1099-R will tell TurboTax how to treat the income.  

 

Qualified Roth IRA/401(k) distributions will have code "Q" in Box 7 of Form 1099-R.
