Income tax will apply to Traditional IRA distributions that you have to include in gross income. Qualified Roth IRA distributions are not included in gross income. Roth IRA distributions are generally considered “qualified” provided a Roth IRA has been open for more than five years and the owner has reached age 59½ or meets other requirements. Both Traditional and Roth IRA distributions may be subject to an IRS 10% additional tax for early or pre-59 ½ distributions.
