You can withdraw earnings,
but only if:

AND
It's been at least 5 tax years
since your first Roth IRA
contribution

Your 5-year clock starts now.
July 1, 2023 = Tax-free access

QUALIFIED WITHDRAWALS
TAX-FREE
If you meet both requirements
(59% and 5 years), earnings
withdrawals are completely
TAX-FREE!

THE 5-YEAR RULE: THE KEY TO TAX-FREE GROWTH
A Roth IRA must be open for at least 5 tax years before you can
withdraw earnings tax-free. It's based on your first contribution,
not the calendar year.
You contributed July 1, 2023.
59% OR OLDER?
You're good!
Qualified withdrawals
are tax-free.
