can i withdraw contributions from an ira
How to Withdraw Roth IRA Contributions. A Roth Individual Retirement Arrangement (Roth IRA) is subject to special rules that do not apply to other types of retirement accounts. Once you open a Roth IRA, you may be able to make contributions into the account up to a certain limit. When you want to take money out of your Roth IRA (i.e., withdraw or distribute funds), you need to understand the federal tax consequences of doing so. Once you have calculated your potential tax liability for making a distribution, you can withdraw funds from your Roth IRA if you would like.
