Default Re: Does the 5-year wait period still apply in Roth conversion after age 59.5 or 70.5 and a question of how many days you have to roll from trad IRA to Roth.

Yes and no. Once you're 59 1/2 the premature distribution
penalty doesn't apply. Ever. If your Roth hasn't been in
existence for 5 years and you withdraw earnings, the
earnings are taxed.

Same as above.

10% of any earnings withdrawn. Otherwise nothing. See the
ordering rules in Publication 590.

60. See Pub 590

Does the 5-year holding period still apply in a traditional
IRA to ROTH IRA conversion if you do so after age 59 1/2?
What about if done after age 70 1/2?

What is the penalty if you are younger than 59 1/2 and you
withdraw money from a Roth IRA that has been held for the
required 5-year period?

Once you roll the funds out of an ordinary IRA, what is the
maximum number of days that you have before you must roll
the funds into a ROTH IRA? It seems like I read somewhere
that you have 120 days to complete the rollover, but I can't
find that number at the moment.

Thanks
