As a general rule, you can withdraw your contributions from a Roth IRA at any time without paying tax or penalty. If you withdraw money from a conversion too soon after that event, and before age 59Â½, you may incur a penalty.xample: You convert your traditional IRA, with a value of $20,000, to a Roth IRA, paying tax on the entire amount. Two years later, when you are under age 59Â½, you withdraw $5,000 from the Roth IRA, and the distribution comes from conversion money because you havenât made any regular contributions to your Roth IRA.
The key to using a Roth IRA as an emergency fund is to avoid withdrawing any investment earnings. While you can withdraw contributions at any time without penalty, if you withdraw earnings before age 59.5, you will pay a 10% penalty. Following this rule is simple: Donât withdraw more than youâve put in.he part of your Roth IRA contribution that you want to use as your emergency fund doesnât belong in stocks, bonds or mutual funds like a typical retirement contribution. It belongs in something liquid that still earns a bit of interest, but that you can withdraw at a momentâs notice without losing principal.
