What is a Roth IRA?

With a Sandia Area Roth IRA, retirement savings contributions to the account are subject to regular federal and state income taxes. Earnings on a Roth IRA are tax-free if your Roth account has been open for at least five years and the savings are withdrawn after age 59½. This is true for both federal, and in most cases, state income taxes. Contributions (not earnings) can be withdrawn tax-free at any time, and there is no required minimum distribution at or after age 73.


Tax advantages

  • Contributions are not tax-deductible.1
  • Earnings grow tax-free, subject to some limitations.
  • Tax-free withdrawals of original contribution are allowed; potentially tax-free withdrawal of earnings if part of a qualified withdrawal.
