A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax dollars, but distributions are tax-free in retirement. Everyone knows that, but Roth IRAs have special properties and use cases that rarely get mentioned. We explain what the general and special benefits of a Roth IRA are, as well as under what circumstances you may want to invest in a Roth IRA. Some of the items discussed include tax-free and penalty-free distributions, protecting your assets from taxes and inflation, and required minimum distributions (RMD).
