Is a roth IRA a potentially tax free account?
Nothing is tax free. On a Roth IRA you pay the tax on the money the year you put it into the IRA. You are supposed to be able to withdraw it from the IRA without paying tax on it. In a regular IRA you put the money into an IRA and do not pay tax on it when you put it in. You pay the tax on it when you withdraw it. The idea behind the regular IRA is that you will pay taxes in old age when your income is down. The idea behind the Roth is that the government can get money from you now. You have to decide which you think is better in your particular situation.

You may be able to leave your 401k with the employer. Some plans will allow this some will not. Read your 401k Summary Plan to learn what your plan says.

Doing a Trustee To Trustee Transfer is best. This would guarantee no tax withholding, no tax and no penalty. Now you have many more investment choices for your retirement savings. Here is one you can do, but it is not recommended. You can take the 401k money for your use. Here 20% will be withheld for income tax and and if applicable, the 10% penalty. But don't think that will pay the tax and penalty on this. The tax and penalty will likely be more than the the amount withheld . It is likely you will also need to pay state income tax on this amount. If have a new employer, some 401k plans will accept money from your former employer's 401k. You may be able to move your old 401k money to your new employer's 401k plan. Most 401k plans will not do this.
Im a 19 year old college student with 2000 in savings for retirement FASFA will not give me as much financial aid should I put it in an IRA anyway will I make more in interest?
An IRA is established for tax savings as your money grows. Most IRA money is invested in Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, and Money Markets. You are probably referring to a Roth IRA. If you plan on not touching the money for a long time by all means put it in the Roth IRA but if you feel you may need it as many college students will do not as there is a penalty for withdrawing funds early. Saving for retirement is important but you are very young and college should be a priority. As far as FAFSA goes a 2000 dollar account will have very little effect on your financial aid. In short if only put in the IRA if you know you are definately not going to touch it. Invest it in several mutual funds with a diverse selection. Example: Large Cap, Mid Cap, Small Cap, International, Fixed Income with mabey 500 dollars in 4 of those listed above. But if you may need it leave it in an account you can access easily without a penalty.
