what age to withdraw from ira
IRA Age 59 1/2 Rule. The normal minimum age for penalty-free withdrawals from a traditional or Roth IRA is 59 1/2. Roth IRAs must also be at least five calendar years old. The five-year rule does not apply to traditional IRAs.ou don't have to begin withdrawing money from your IRA as soon as you are 59 1/2. You do have to start required minimum distributions from traditional IRAs at age 70 1/2. There are no required distributions from Roths -- you can keep money in the account as long as you wish.
