Removing Converted Roth IRA Funds

Submitted by John Michael Hall on Wed, 2023-08-23 21:10

I am 65 years old and have a Roth IRA that has been open for 5+ years. The current basis is $25K. Can I convert $50K, and then withdraw $50K in 2024? In other words, does the 5 year conversion rule apply since I am 65 years old?

Thanks!

It does not apply. Your Roth is qualified and entirely tax and penalty free whenever you take distributions, even from a conversion you just did.
