What does RMD mean when refering to IRA?

Required Minimum Distribution or RMD is the amount you have to withdraw from you IRA or 401K, etc. beginning at age 70 1/2 per year (it can be divided into 12 monthly payments per year) or the IRS will charge you a 50% penalty for not withdrawing the RMD amount. The reason is the IRS wants you to pay taxes on your IRA or 401K by age 70 1/2 or you will be penalized a 50% penatly for not using that money. You cannot just leave it there forever. This applies only on pre-tax products that you have never paid any taxes on. A Roth IRA is not included because taxes were paid on that money before it was set aside for retirment. It is not Pre-tax but Post-tax. There is a formula you have to use to calculate and RMD by IRS rules and regulations. You can access such a calculator at the following: https://www3.troweprice.com/retailtools/rmdcalc/public/rmdStart.do?distYear=2011&beneDob=

Which type of IRA allows tax-free payouts when you retire?

A Roth IRA is what you want for tax-free appreciation. You cannot deduct amounts that you put into a Roth IRA but as it grows the growth is tax free. A traditional IRA is usually deductible in your current tax return based on income and other restrictions. The income for a traditional IRA grows on a tax deferred basis so you pay tax when you tax withdrawls from this type of IRA. If you calculate the income on both with the deductibility of the Traditional and the tax free growth of the Roth, the growth rate on both is about the same over a period of time.
