There are two 5-year rules, one for the Roth 401(k) and one for a Roth IRA. Do they still matter after age 59.5?

Good job starting so young. I did not wake up til I was 40 and realized I had 30k in debt and was late on a mortgage pmt. Now at 53 I have a paid off house and a net worth right at 900k. Just wish I started sooner

I think a good investment portfolio should have three basic things: ETFs for diversification, dividend stocks for cash flow, and leading tech stocks. With your budget, it's a good idea to talk to a fiduciary financial advisor for expert advice.

I agree with you. As an early investor in NVDA, AVGO, ANSS, and LRCX, my financial advisor's advice was incredibly helpful. Over the past 7 years, she has helped me find stocks that did 10x multiple times. With her help, I've grown my portfolio to over a million dollars.

With Roth IRA, the money you are contributing has already been taxed. At any time for any reason, you can withdraw your contributions tax-free and penalty-free.

So let me make sure I got this straight: 1) You can always withdraw your initial contribution so long as it wasn't from a roth conversion. Age of person and roth don't matter for that. 2) You can only withdraw your earnings once 59.5 AND if you've had a roth IRA at least 5 years, again ignoring conversions 3) If you convert to a roth, 5 year rule applies to each conversion year until you are 59.5, and this applies to both the initial contribution and earnings Did I get that right?

@le9051 4 месяца назад

I was aware of the second 5 year rule but not the first five year rule. And the reason is because I did a conversion many years ago. It was a small one but it was in my mind a security blanket kind of decision. That security blanket I thought I needed never came to fruition but now I have a Roth IRA because of it so when I retire I can move my Roth 401k into that IRA and I don't have to wait 5 years to touch any of that money? That's what I heard him say

We obviously could use a definitive rule from the IRS on Rule #2, but your analysis is very logical. Thanks.

Yes there are many little rules and have been delays in providing some of the rules as well. When a Roth account is inherited by a non-spouse, or when the non-spouse beneficiary dies and a contingent beneficiary inherits the contingent may not have their own 10 year time period, and perhaps the balance of the original beneficiary's 10 year period. Always pay to be informed!

@jlam3927 3 месяца назад

Two five year rules (well 3 if you include inheritance) and two "penalties" 1. income tax 2. 10% early withdrawal. Complicated indeed and there are many sites out there that get this wrong. This video is 100% correct. Always cross reference info on the IRS website as that is the final word on the subject.

@KarenDemille 3 месяца назад

I agree with your comments, BUT not all CPA's and Financial Advisors are thoroughly up on all the specifics of Roth accounts and Roth conversions. I have recently completed our series of Roth Conversions and have purposely not converted every last penny into our Roth accounts. What has greatly helped us was having a cash reserve for the taxes and always having an avoidance to most debt. Sure some of the recent mortgage rates have been wonderful and I can appreciate how nice it'd be to have one(if I needed one). 50+ years ago I inherited $3500 from my grandfather that was meant to be for college. I got my degree while also working and I still had that chunk of inheritance. My parents chose not to bequest money to their grandchildren, so I decided to open Roth accounts for our children and one part time working teenager. Like a teenager, college impo9rtance is not always understood, but I trust there will be a time when my heirs will appreciate my efforts!

@@consciouscrypto3090 1) Yes contributions are always available for withdrawal without any penalty, BUT the IRS expects you to track/report it for certain withdrawals before 59 1/2 on Form 8606 - Part 3. They want to make sure you aren't withdrawing anything that's subject to tax or penalty. 2) You are correct, but to clarify you CAN withdraw it, BUT you will be subject to tax and penalties. 3) This one gets weird. Conversions are NEVER subject to taxes (you already paid taxes upon conversion), only the 10% early withdrawal penalty applies if before 5 years (for each conversion) and before 59 1/2. This is why that penalty goes away completely after 59 1/2.

@longgone9738 3 дня назад

@@consciouscrypto3090No. The IRS classifies Roth money three ways. 1) Contributions. 2) Conversions. 3) Earnings. It also expects withdrawals to follow the SAME order. Therefore, both contributions and conversions can be withdrawn tax-free at any time and any age BECAUSE taxes on those funds have already been paid. Earnings, however, are subject to taxation until the IRA account has been open 5-years and until the account owner has reached age 59.5.

Hello, I've been intently watching retirement videos recently as I'm looking at retirement in 5 years (now 58). This is the first I'm hearing about a 5 year rule. I've been contributing for years in my 401K and started many years ago also contributing to my 401K Roth account. Are you saying I need to get a Roth IRA account set up ASAP? Also, if I do put $100 in a Roth IRA, after the 5 years, can I take the growth from my Roth 401K without penalty since it's not doing a conversion, it's just a withdraw from a Roth account?

Let's say I am 60 years old and currently have $50k in a Roth IRA. I also have a regular IRA with $50k in it. If I do a Roth conversion on the $50k regular IRA and put it into my existing Roth account, do I have $100k that I can withdraw at any time?

@FrankFrankie-55 2 месяца назад

@cometcal2 I'd say it depends when you first contributed to the Roth IRA. If it has been more than 5 years since you first contributed to the Roth IRA then YES you have $100K you can withdraw tax free/penalty free (assuming you paid the taxes on that rollover with other funds not part of the conversion dollars). if it has not been 5 years since you first contributed to the Roth IRA then the answer is NO (based on what I got out the Wise Money Show video above ). For example lets say you open and funded the Roth only 4 years ago. Lets also say you contributed $7000 per year for 4 years. Your contribution total is $28,000. If your account balance is $50,000 then you have $22,000 worth of earnings on that 28K. After you convert $50,000 from your Traditional IRA to your Roth this is what you have. $28,000 of Contributions, $22,000 worth of earnings, $50,000 from the Rollover. but you can only withdraw the $28,000 of Contributions + $50,000 Rollover dollars = $78,000 tax free and penalty free. I f you withdraw more you will be hit with the 10% early withdraw penalty. I think the 10% penalty would only be on the $$$ over 78K but I am not sure. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

When dollars are in funds/shares, that 15-20-25-35% income tax rate could challenge the Roth being a better option. Look at your tax brackets what rate you expect when retiring. You might be paying a higher rate now than in retirement. In my case traditional IRA/401k and maximizing shares purchased during my working years has more "shares/dollars" working for me. Just speaking about dollars vs the actual dollars in shares of a fund can be a missed opportunity when you have pretax dollars working for you for a longer period.

Great stuff! My wife and I have been discussing this lately and it appears that we're both right. We're both retired and over 59.5 (over 70). I converted some of my IRA to a Roth two years ago, and hers last year. I said the five-year rule doesn't apply and she argued that it did. I was talking about the second rule, while she was talking about the first. She's right because we just opened the Roths. It's no problem because the Roths are the last dimes we intend to spend and the inheritance is uncomplicated (I intend to do more). Converting hers to a Roth also avoids the RMD on her IRA. Not that it really matters but hers is relatively small and mine is professionally managed, including planning. Considering inheritance, how does the five-year rule play there?

To do a Roth conversion, do you have to have a W-2 job? Can you setup a Roth after retirement? After you retire, you no longer receive W-2 tax forms. Did I miss something?

@everettcalhoun8197 9 дней назад

Not to do a conversion from a 401k or IRA. Contributions are a different story. You can do conversions but cannot do contributions unless you are not working.

@longgone9738 3 дня назад

1) W-2 forms are NOT needed to do Roth conversions. 2) You can open a Roth IRA after retirement.

IF I (+65 yo) have to make a mandatory distribution from my 401k (non-Roth), and if I deposit the distibution to my Roth (Established >5 years ago) will I avoid taxes on the distribution?

You could rollover the non-roth to a Roth but you would need to pay taxes on the total amount of the rollover as if it is income. Then going forward there would be no required min distributions.

I don't believe you can use rmd money to convert to a Roth. I believe that money would have to be used or put into a brokerage account. After you take your rmd, if you are at the age that you must start doing that, and if you want to then do a Roth conversion, then you have to take more money out after the rmd and do the conversion of that money. Then you will pay taxes on the rmd amount and the amount you converted.

Question: I withdrew a large sum from my IRA ( after withdrawing RMD) this February . I didn’t withhold any taxes at the time, can I pay the amount of taxes owed next year when I do my taxes or do I have to pay any amount sooner. I’m 75 .

@pixelgirl3307 4 месяца назад

I did a Roth conversion with that money.

@micheleyoungblood Месяц назад

You have to pay estimated taxes on your money as a senior. So when you do a Roth conversion you have to pay estimated taxes. But the IRS wants you to pay estimated taxes on an equal basis basically for the four quarters of the year. If you use the amount you paid in taxes for the previous year and use that amount quarterly paying your estimated taxes that's called safe harbor and your large conversion won't matter, because you're under safe harbor and your pain the IRS what you paid in last year's tax returns total taxes. Then when you file your tax return and you owe more money on the conversion you just pay the money with your tax return. If you're not paying estimated taxes you'll end up getting penalized when you pay your taxes with your tax return.

@longgone9738 3 дня назад

If you wait to pay the taxes due when you file your tax return, the IRS will charge you an extra penalty for “underpayment” if you do not send in estimated tax payments each quarter.

I was under the impression you had to own the Roth account you’re withdrawing from for five years. If you owned one Roth 30 years and then open one when you’re 59… I’d think at 59.5 years you could only withdraw gains from the older one.

@teamrecon2685 3 месяца назад

That is not correct

@everettcalhoun8197 8 дней назад

@@teamrecon2685 You are incorrect. Each and every Roth conversion has its own 5 year rule.

@longgone9738 3 дня назад

The IRS treats multiple IRA accounts as a “single” event. Both 5-year rules magically “evaporate” provided: 1) at least ONE IRA account has been open for 5 years, and 2) the account owner is 59.5 years old (or older) when the distribution is taken out/received.

Whoa very interesting. I did not know the ROTH '5 Year Rule' impacts, especially on conversions. IMO, just another reason to stick with traditional IRA, and leave the money intact and subject to compounding.

@longgone9738 3 дня назад

Regular IRA = perpetual tax on the HARVEST. Roth IRA = tax on the SEED. But the perpetual HARVEST is tax-free forever. I know which account I choose.

Question, I'm retiring soon as a 69 y.o. and already have a roth which has been opened for 10 years. I'm rolling over a $180,000 401k that was entirely employer funded to a self directed ira. I'm planning to open three additional roth's, as needed, and roll over the ira in equal third amounts, in three successive years into the separate roth's in order to keep the funds isolated from each other and make it simple to determine when the five year restriction has elapsed for each rollover. Does this make sense, or am I overthinking this? Once the five year rule has elapsed, I was going to move each one to my original Roth to consolidate my accounts.

@touchofgrace3217 4 месяца назад

@@kenmore1961 he did get a little confusing with all of the imaginary scenarios instead of just clarifying the rules themselves. One 5yr rule is about the age of the Roth Account itself. The second 5yr rule is about each individual conversion of the funds into the Roth. Neither rule is affected by the age of the retiree.

At the IRS website there is a complete explanation along with a flowchart. What it comes down to is : If you have had ANY Roth IRA open for at least five years and you are over 59 and 1/2 then all distributions are qualified and tax free.

@winstonrosete8036 4 месяца назад

I don't think there is a separate 5 yr rule for each conversion once you satisfy the first.

@johnscott2746 2 месяца назад

There is a separate 5 year rule for each conversion but once you turn 59 and 1/2 the rule goes away. The entire purpose of the rule is to keep people from doing an end run around the rules for traditional IRAs . Once you reach 59.5 there is no more 10% penalty so no more rule.

If you are 59 and 1/2 and you have had ANY Roth IRA open for at least five years then all distributions are qualified and tax free. The whole purpose of the five year rule on conversions is to keep someone who is underage from converting the funds and then immediately withdrawing them with no penalty because the taxes have already been paid. I did a conversion when I retired at 61 in order to use it as an emergency fund and I have accessed it several times in the last four years. No problems with the IRS.

I really wish they would have Roth IRA contributions at the same contribution limit as 401k/457b/403b or at least at half the rate. My wife's school offers the 403b Roth while my employer only offers pre-tax. Her fees aren't bad but her options are limited. My fees are a bit higher with a few more options. We do max out our Roth IRA so I shouldn't complain, but when you're paying .40% average for the funds (some are 0.7-1.0%) plus administrative fees then pretax versus almost nothing in the Roth (average is .06% without monthly admin fees) it just bothers me to pay that plus tax. I'll keep nagging our providers to offer Roth versions.
