Five Year Recapture Rule

Under a different rule, each conversion contribution is tracked separately for determining if a 10% recapture tax (premature penalty) applies to amounts distributed from that specific conversion. This "five year recapture period" should not be confused with the five year aging period. Each conversion may use the Roth IRA's original five year aging period for determining whether the distribution is qualified. This "five year recapture period" determines whether or not the 10% penalty is applied to amounts distributed from that conversion.

See Ordering Rules and Five Year Aging Rule for more information.•Depositor may contribute as long as he/she has earned income within the AGI limits. •Roth IRAs are not subject to required minimum distributions (RMD) but distributions are required to be made to the beneficiary upon the Roth IRA owner's death.
