Tax implications for stock purchases in a Roth Brokerage IRA?

Question

I understand that the gains on investments in a Roth IRA are not taxable upon withdrawl (as the original contributions have already been taxed) but does that apply to the gains resulting from the purchase and sale of stocks in a Roth Brokerage IRA as well?

Answer 1

Correct. The gains accumulate without tax as long as you defer withdrawal until age 59 1/2 or later.

Answer 2

Yes any of the gains, Dividends profit from sale isn't taxed if you leave it in the account. On the flip side if your stock loses money you don't get the write off for the lost either. So any trades and profits is tax free.
