Is there a withdrawal requirement for a Roth IRA?

You generally have to start taking withdrawals from your IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, or retirement plan account when you reach age 73. You're not required to take withdrawals from Roth IRAs, or from Designated Roth accounts in a 401(k) or 403(b) plan while the account owner is alive.

How long do I have to have a Roth IRA before I can withdraw?

You can generally withdraw your earnings without owing any taxes or penalties if you're at least 59 years old and it's been at least five years since you first contributed to your Roth IRA. This is known as the five-year rule.

Do you have to wait 5 years to withdraw Roth conversions?

The simple version says the Roth account needs to have been funded for five years before you withdraw any earnings even after you've reached age 59 or you could owe taxes. In addition, nonqualified withdrawals before that age could also trigger a 10% penalty.

Do I have to report my Roth IRA withdrawal on my tax return?

A Roth IRA differs from a traditional IRA in several ways. Contributions to a Roth IRA aren't deductible (and you don't report the contributions on your tax return), but qualified distributions or distributions that are a return of contributions aren't subject to tax.
