This is for you:

  • You have (or are building) a Roth and might need some of it before 59½
  • You want to know exactly how you can pull money out now to avoid penalties & taxes
  • You're weighing early retirement, a big purchase, or just want the option

This isn't for you:

  • You're already past 59½ (you don't need this, you can take it out freely)
Contributions, conversions, and earnings each have their own rules and their own clocks. Pull from the wrong bucket in the wrong order and you'll owe taxes and a 10% penalty on money you thought was free. This guide walks you around each one.
