Previous problemNext problem

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of Roth IRAs: Roth IRAs are individual retirement accounts where contributions are made with after-tax dollars, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free under certain conditions.

Review the tax treatment of earnings in Roth IRAs: Earnings grow tax-free if specific conditions, such as holding the account for at least five years and being over the age of 59½, are met.

Examine the rules for qualified withdrawals: Qualified withdrawals from Roth IRAs are tax-free, provided the conditions mentioned above are satisfied.

Analyze the statement about required minimum distributions (RMDs): Roth IRAs do not require minimum distributions to begin at age 72, unlike traditional IRAs. This is a key distinction between Roth IRAs and other retirement accounts.

Identify the incorrect statement: Based on the analysis, the statement 'Required minimum distributions must begin at age 72 for Roth IRAs' is incorrect because Roth IRAs are exempt from RMD rules during the account holder's lifetime.
