No. You can contribute to a Roth IRA at any age if you have earned income (earnings from employment, including self-employment or alimony, not investment or rental income). And, participating in a plan at work doesn't limit your Roth IRA contributions.
It depends on your adjusted gross income. You can contribute up to $5,500 ($6,500 if age 50 or older) a year if you are single and your income is less than $120,000, or married with joint income is less than $189,000. Use the Guide to Roth Contributions to check your contribution limit.
Whether or not your spouse has earned income, if your joint income is within the allowable range, you can open separate Roth IRAs and contribute up to $5,500 each ($6,500 if age 50 or older), for a total of $11,000² each year (as long as your combined earned income is at least $11,000).³
No, but you can always withdraw your Roth IRA contributions tax-free. Earnings may (or may not) be taxable, dependent upon if they are received as part of a "Qualified Withdrawal."
See IRS Publication 590-B for additional information.
Yes. You can divide your contributions between these IRAs, as long as your total combined contributions do not exceed $5,500 ($6,500 if age 50 or older) annually. And, if your income is above the limit to maximize your contribution in your Roth IRA, you can invest the difference in a Traditional IRA.
No. You must keep Traditional IRA money separate from Roth IRA money.

You can take money out at any time (see next question for tax consequences). And, you can keep your money in your Roth IRA as long as you like – the law does not require that you begin taking withdrawals at any specified age4.
When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA account, you first receive your own contributions, then any earnings5. (See examples below.) Your contributions come out tax-free, while earnings will be taxable unless you meet both of these conditions:
Also, after your death, withdrawals of earnings by your beneficiaries that meet the five-year holding period are tax-free.
Consider these examples:
Any taxable earnings you withdraw will be subject to ordinary income tax and, before age 59½, a 10% penalty tax. However, the penalty will not apply if you:
Also, the penalty will not apply to amounts your beneficiaries receive after your death.
See IRS Publication 590-B for a complete list of exception to the 10% penalty.
Yes. Almost everyone with an IRA (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs) is eligible to convert to a Roth IRA. Even a former employer's retirement plan (e.g. 401(k), profit sharing, and 403(b)) may be eligible to convert to a Roth IRA.
Contact your advisor or see IRS Publication 590-A for additional information.
