  • Contributions are not tax-deductible
  • You can contribute even if you or your spouse participates in an employer-sponsored retirement plan
  • No mandatory age for distribution or to open account
  • Earnings tax-free after age 59½ and 5-year holding period

  • Penalty-free distribution after 5 years for first home purchase or non-qualified educational expenses
