Ira Withdrawals Rules

Question: If I covert my traditional IRA to a Roth IRA will I be affected by the 5 year rule regarding withdrawals?

Answer: Yes. Your contribution from the rollover will start the 5-year rule for withdrawals prior to 59 1/2. After 59 1/2 they go away.

However, do the math carefully.

If you are concerned about the 5 year rule a conversion may not make sense for you. The major reason to do it would be to not have to start withdrawals at 70 1/2 as is the case with a traditional IRA.
