  • The importance of proper record keeping and protection to avoid paying taxes you don\\u2019t owe.

  • Why it needs to be a Roth IRA to start your 5-year clock instead of a Roth 401k.

Tweetable Quotes:

  • \\u201cThe first 5-year rule is used to determine if a Roth IRA distribution is qualified, and for that 5-year rule, it starts January 1 of the first year for which you fund your Roth IRA, and it never starts over.\\u201d- Denise Appleby
  • \\u201cAs taxpayers, we have to be responsible for protecting ourselves as is allowed under the tax code, or we\\u2019re going to pay taxes we don\\u2019t owe because we don\\u2019t know we don\\u2019t owe.\\u201d- Denise Appleby
