can i still be taxed and penalized for withdrawing from my roth ira
To make qualified distributions from a Roth IRA, you must be at least 59Â½ and it must be at least five years since you first began contributing. And if you converted a regular IRA to a Roth IRA, you can't take out the money penalty-free until at least five years after the conversion.f you are under 59 Â½: If you withdraw any money from a traditional IRA, you'll be slapped with a 10% penalty on the amount you withdraw. That's in addition to the regular income tax you'll owe on your withdrawal. Bad idea.
