Let's say CTIX is sold for $100 per share,
Roth: pay tax on $25K, no tax on $2.5M
Traditional: no tax on $25K, pay tax on $2.5M
Here are the withdrawal rules:
Roth: Contributions can be withdrawn at any time, tax-free and penalty free. After five years and age 59 ½, all withdrawals are tax-free, too. No withdrawals required during account holder’s lifetime; beneficiaries can stretch distributions over many years.
Traditional: Withdrawals are penalty free beginning at age 59 ½. Distributions must begin at age 70 1/2 ; beneficiaries pay taxes on inherited IRAs.
