Imagine that your mother is 62 years old and planning to retire at 66. If she puts $6,000 into a Roth IRA at the age of 62 and it grows to $8,000 by the time she retires at 66, can she withdraw the full $8,000 without paying any taxes?
A. Yes.
B. No.

Respuesta :

Answer: B. No.

Explanation:

A Roth Individual Retirement Account allows for one to be able to withdraw amounts without paying taxes in their retirement. There are several requirements for this to be possible though.

One of them is that the person should have owned the account for at least 5 years. The mother in this scenario had only owned the account for 4 years and so will not qualify for tax free withdrawals.
