A Roth IRA is an Individual Retirement Account you contribute after-tax dollars to. Your contributions and earnings grow tax-free, and you can withdraw them tax-free and penalty-free1 after age 59½ and once the account has been open for five years. 

Keep in mind: You can’t take a tax deduction with a Roth IRA so there are no current-year tax benefits.

If you need to open an inherited IRA, please contact our Experience Center for more information.
