Roth 401(k) plans are long‐term retirement savings vehicles. Contributions to a Roth 401(k) are never tax deductible, but if certain conditions are met, distributions will be completely income tax free. Unlike Roth IRAs, Roth 401(k) participants are subject to required minimum distributions at age 72 (70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020). Unless certain criteria are met, Roth IRA owners must be 59½ or older and have held the IRA for five years before tax‐free withdrawals are permitted. Additionally, each converted amount may be subject to its own five‐year holding period. Converting a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA has tax implications. Investors should consult a tax advisor before deciding to do a conversion.
