Roth IRA (2025)

Roth IRAs offer tax-free qualified withdrawals. Contribution eligibility phases out at higher incomes.

Contribution Eligibility

Check 2025 MAGI phase-out ranges for Roth IRA contributions. Backdoor Roth strategies are an option for high earners.

Qualified Distributions

Qualified distributions are tax-free if account held for 5 years and you're 59½ or older (or meet exception). Roth IRAs have no RMDs for original owner in current law.

Roth Conversions

Converting Traditional IRA funds to Roth may make sense for some HOH filers — see the Roth Conversion guide for tradeoffs.
