Are dividends from ROTH IRA investments taxable ?

[Beginning]

At age 59-and-a-1/2, when we can start accessing our ROTH investments, would those dividends become taxable ??

[~bs]

nope. that's why people like to put tax disadvantaged investments in roths. like corp bonds, high div paying funds, etc.

I recently found out they are also non taxable for HSA (health savings accounts) for those that are interested.

I too read up on it this morning. No dividends yet (not enough in the account yet but hopefully by year end.

A Roth IRA is funded with taxed earnings. Earnings and growth in the Roth are not taxed, as long as the account has been funded for at least 5 years. You can begin withdrawing tax-free at age 59 1/2 years.

There are a few exceptions such as withdrawal before age 59 1/2 or using funds to buy a first home, medical expenses, and such.

So as long as the stocks are head in a Roth, there's no taxes on dividends ?! Wow !!!!

An investment that requires a K1 will be taxed even if im a Roth if it pays out enough distributions. That's the only exception that I know of
