What is the name of your state? Ohio
I am young (24) and want to start saving for my retirement. I have heard that you can take distributions from a Roth IRA up to the amount of you contributions with out penalty. I have found information online that both agrees with this and disagrees with it. I would like to know if any one has any insight on this topic, and if they do is there a reference they could point me too. I cant seem to find anything on the IRS website. At least as far as I can understand there will be no tax implications since you have already paid tax on contributions to a Roth, but it is the 10% penalty that I am concerned with.
