Some clients may have unique circumstances that could result in a distribution from a Roth IRA being taxed or penalized. Many of these situations rarely come up, which makes it hard to remember the usual distribution rules from a Roth IRA.

To help make this easier, we have created the “Will A Distribution From My Roth IRA Be Tax & Penalty-Free?” flowchart. This flowchart helps to quickly identify circumstances that could have an impact on how a distribution is taxed (and penalized). It considers the following:

The 5-Year Rule
Impact of Roth conversions
Distribution ordering rules
Conditions that trigger the 10% early distribution penalty
Exceptions to the 10% early distribution penalty
