Flow of the Roth IRA from opening the account till closing the account
_

If one opens the Roth IRA at the age of 25 along with the contribution of $3,000, he never makes the subsidiary contribution.

In case a person decides to close the Roth IRA account after the age of 20, then it would be worth $10,000 including state and federal taxes plus the penalty.

In this situation, a person does not owe any taxes or penalties in $3,000 which belongs to $10,000. And, the reason behind the same is because an individual will be able to withdraw the original contribution at any time without the taxes or the penalties.

Now the remaining $7,000 will be known as the purchase benefit or purchase gain. Later on, it is vulnerable to the income taxes as well as the first withdrawal fees is 10% in Roth IRA.

Hence, by taking an assumption of the tax-rate with 25%, an individual owes $1,750 in the income taxes in addition to $700, first withdrawal charges which means $2,450 in the $10,000 directly moves on to the taxes as well as the penalties.

Therefore, at the closing of an individual’s account, it simply leaves the grand total of $7, 550. Hence, one should make sure that the withdrawal of the original contribution is tax-free as well as without any penalties for the first time.

Eventually, this was the flow of the retirement account starting from opening of the account till the closing the account.

Once an individual gets an idea of the Math through such examples, it is easier to understand exactly how the Roth IRA account works and what one must avoid. However, prior to committing to opening this account, it is strongly recommended to consult a financial consultant who understands one’s needs in detail and better.
