Yes. You are required to start taking out certain withdrawls from your IRA after reaching the age 70.5. The requirement is actually not that you make the actual withdrawls but that you pay tax on this amount as if you had made the withdrawl required. From a reality standpoint it is actually easier if you do take the withdrawl and put it into another account so that you can keep up with what amount has been taxed and what has not been taxed in your IRA account.
No, you can not deduct Roth IRA contributions. You pay regular income tax on the money you contribute to a Roth IRA. The tax advantage is that the taxes have already been paid with it is time to withdraw the money. Additionally, you pay no income tax on the increase in account value from interest, dividends, etc.
Dividends in the Traditional IRA are taxed upon distribution (when you physically take the money out for yourself). When the IRA holds stocks the growth and dividends paid within the account are tax deferred.
No. Dividends in a Roth IRA account are not subject to income tax.
No, you do not get a tax deduction for Roth IRA contributions. You pay regular income tax on the amount your contribute to your Roth IRA. The tax benefit is that any income you generate with the account (interest, dividends, etc.) is not taxed when you withdraw the money.

Generally, they are not. If any of the money includes interest, dividends, or capital gains earned after death, that income may be taxable to the beneficiaries when distributed. If you inherit a retirement account, such as an IRA, distributions therefrom will be at least partially taxable unless transferred into an IRA for the beneficiary. The rules are complex, and will not be addressed here.
The major benefit of a Roth Individual Retirement Account is that it is tax-free. Other types of IRAs are taxed by the government. Converting to a Roth IRA requires the owner to pay the taxes for all the money currently in the account, but all subsequent funds will not be taxed.
Short-term CDs do not allow for money to be added to them "when needed." You deposit a specific amount of money for a specific time. It is not a revolving account or an open deposit savings instrument. A ROTO IRA is an investment retirement account into which taxed dollars are deposited, as opposed to a traditional IRA in which funds are taxed upon withdrawal. The IRS limits the annual contribution to both.
A Roth IRA is simply a retirement account in which tax-paid funds are deposited. A traditional IRA is untaxed dollars, which are taxed upon withdrawal. A Roth IRA can be set up with any broker or lender that sets up traditional IRAs. Your employer, banker, banker or accountant can assist you.
Dividends re-invested in your traditional IRA are not generally subject to income tax until you withdraw the money after retirement - when, presumably, you will be in a lower tax bracket. However, no one should ever rely on Wiki Answers for legal or tax advice.
