As long as you have earned income, it's never too late to open and IRA. You may make the maximum tax year contribution (plus $1,000- catch-up contribution because you are over 50 yrs old) but can not exceed 100% of your annual earned income.

Can I open a Roth IRA if I'm over 65?

You cannot contribute more to your IRA than the amount of your "compensation income." Compensation income is the taxable portion of your wages/salary, net self-employment, and alimony. Any amount shown in box 1 of a W-2 minus the amount shown in box 11 of the same W-2 is automatically considered taxable compensation income. So if you are not doing some kind of work or receiving alimony, you can't contribute. There is no age limit for contributions to a Roth IRA. People over 70 1/2 cannot contribute to a traditional IRA.

If my wife and I open up an IRA this year and we are over 65 years old, how soon can we withdraw the funds w/o penalties?

First the question of set up. If you establish a ROTH IRA, there is no age limit, however, with a traditional IRA, the limit for establishing the IRA is 70.5. IRAs can only be finded by income derived from work, so assuming you have a salary, funds can be withdrawn after the age of retirement. In the case of a traditional IRA, you can withdraw earnings as soon as they accumulate as long as you begin withdrawal by April 1st of the year after you turn 70.5.
