Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I've had a Roth IRA account with my stock broker for 7 years. There is $200 in the account. If I deposit $5k into that account, could I withdraw tax free this year?

Or does a new 5 yr clock start on the new $5k? I am over 70 yrs old.

The 5-year period starts when you first opened the Roth IRA account. If you withdraw your contributions, it will not be taxable,

@dmonplaisir 

You don't want to withdraw from a Roth until you have achieved some growth in that account, right.?

Do you have some investment in mind?

(I know what I would invest in)

You indicated you are over 70

 

...But...do you still have actual wage income?  Either from a W-2 job, or from self-employment income?

Certainly a rollover from another retirement account would be allowed, but you need actual wage/earned income to make a contribution.
