Yes, you can close an IRA after age 70 and a half. Once you reach this age, you can start taking distributions from your IRA without penalty. Keep in mind that you will need to pay taxes on any withdrawals you make, as contributions to traditional IRAs are typically tax-deductible.

I am 64 years of age. My Roth IRA is about to reach its 5-year holding period on 2010. Will opening a new Roth IRA account be subject to another 5-year holding period?

If you are opening a new Roth at another firm and transferring this account into it, then the answer is no since the new account take on the life span of the previous account. If you are opening another Roth at the same firm that you have the previous one, then yes. Alos, there is no real reason to open a new Roth at the same form for the contribution limit total is is the same for both accounts.


How can one determine the age of a deceased person by looking at the skeleton?

One can determine the age of a deceased person by examining the growth plates in long bones, such as the femur, which close as a person reaches adulthood. Additionally, dental development and wear patterns can provide insight into age, as well as changes in the pubic symphysis and cranial sutures. Advanced techniques like DNA analysis can also be used for age estimation.


What amount has to be taken from IRA at age 70?

Every IRA contains a different amount. No one dollar amount can apply to every individual. The projected lifespan for a 70 year old person could change between now and when someone else reaches 70. Today's answer might not apply for someone who will reach 69 this year. If someone is reaching 70, he or she should contact the institution that handles the IRA and arrange for withdrawals. They have the ability of calculating that minimum. They can tell him or her in just a few minutes what the amount will be. Actually, it is best to start withdrawing about 2 months before you actually need to start withdrawing. Institutions take about that long to get things straightened out and it is better to start getting your own money a little early than get it a little late and give part of it to the government.

Can you take your IRA account and transfer that IRA account into another individuals IRA account?

No, you can not transfer an IRA account from one person to another. IRA accounts are only for one particular individual. You would have to take a distribution from your IRA account and deal with any tax consequences, then give that money to the other individual so that they could contribute it to their IRA account. They would have to abide by the limitations placed on contribution limits i.e. $5,000 per year (as of 2009) for individuals under the age of 50 and $6,000 (called a catch up contribution) for those over the age of 50.
