SupportWhat are the different ways I can take a distribution from my Roth IRA?
There are multiple options for taking distributions from your IRA, each of which may be subject to, for example, differing tax treatment, IRS penalties, and / or specific procedural requirements. Accordingly, we recommend that you consult your financial or tax advisor for advice on the best approach to taking distributions from your IRA.
The following are classifications for distributions from your Roth IRA. You can process a distribution by submitting the IRA Distribution Request form.
Qualified Distributions: Qualified Distributions are tax-free if the Roth IRA has been open for at least 5 years and you have reached age 59½, or an IRS exemption applies.
Non-Qualified Distributions: Any distribution that is not a Qualified Distribution. Non-Qualified Distributions may be taxed as income and may be subject to an additional 10% tax.
Bank to Bank Transfers: Your IRA funds held at AENB which we directly transferred to your IRA at another company. A transfer is the nonreportable movement of assets between IRAs of the same type.
Return of Excess Contributions: An excess contribution occurs when the contribution amount exceeds allowable limits, including when making an improper rollover contribution or when an ineligible individual makes a contribution. For correction purposes, an IRA owner can treat an unwanted contribution as an excess. The IRS will charge you a 6% penalty/excise tax on the excess amount for each year in which you don't take action to correct the error. For this situation, please submit the IRA Return of Excess Contribution Worksheet.
Other Distributions: Any distribution not covered in another category.
