10 WHAT ARE THE DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS? > Tax-free withdrawals for qualified distributions > A qualified distribution is generally one that was made after age 59½ (or disability or), and at least five years after January 1 of the year in which the first Roth contribution was made to this or a predecessor plan. > Unlike the Roth IRA, first-time home purchase is not a qualified distribution. > Earnings from nonqualified distributions will be subject to tax and potentially a 10% penalty.

15 HOW WILL MY PAYCHECK BE AFFECTED? > Roth after-tax contributions do not reduce your taxable income. > Net pay will be reduced due to additional tax withholdings.
