FAQ

When you withdraw income from your Roth IRA, you must report it on Form 8606. This form helps you track your basis in regular Roth contributions and conversions. It also shows if you've withdrawn earnings.

Key Takeaways. Earnings that you withdraw from a Roth IRA don't count as income as long as you meet the rules for qualified distributions. Typically, you will need to have had a Roth IRA for at least five years and be at least 59½ years old for a distribution to count as qualified, but there are some exceptions.

To discourage the use of IRA distributions for purposes other than retirement, you'll be assessed a 10% additional tax on early distributions from traditional and Roth IRAs, unless an exception applies. Generally, early distributions are those you receive from an IRA before reaching age 59½.

IRA Hardship Withdrawal Rules Unreimbursed medical expenses that exceed more than 7.5% of adjusted gross income (AGI) Qualified higher education expenses. Purchasing your first home (no penalty on up to $10,000 early withdrawal) Certain expenses if you're a qualified military reservist called to active duty.

Contributions: Because your Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars, you can withdraw your regular contributions (not the earnings) at any time and at any age with no penalty or tax. Earnings: Account earnings are taxable only if the distribution isn't a qualified distribution.

The early withdrawal penalty for a traditional or Roth individual retirement account is 10% of the amount withdrawn. Keep in mind that you may also owe income tax in addition to the penalty. You can withdraw contributions (but not earnings) early from a Roth IRA without being subject to income tax and the penalty.

"Backdoor Roth IRA" is simply a term to describe a strategy used by high-income earners who can't contribute to a Roth IRA because their income is above certain limits. Rather than contribute directly to a Roth, you contribute to a traditional IRA, and then convert it to a Roth.
