post age 70 1/2 Roth conversion and qual distributions

What is the waiting period, if any, of taking tax free qualified distributions from a Roth that was converted post age 70 ½?

How soon can both basis and future gain be taken tax free without penalty?



Distributions will be tax free up to the amount converted (up to all contributions made). Earnings come out last and will not be tax free until 5 years has passed from the first Roth contribution. This should not be a problem since the contributions will compose the vast majority of the account values and come out first.
