4. Roth IRA distributions

You’ve probably heard of qualified distributions, right? Well, then it comes to a Roth IRA (Roth individual retirement account), qualified distributions are not taxed. That’s the money you receive after the age of 59 ½, typically.

The trick is to figure out when and how you want to pay your taxes. It’s all about the long game!
