Qualified Distribution

(redirected from Qualified Distributions)

Qualified Distribution

A tax-exempt payment made to an annuitant from a Roth IRA. In order to be qualified, a distribution must occur at least five years after the Roth IRA was established and the annuitant must be at least 59.5 years old (unless there are extenuating circumstances such as a disability). A distribution is qualified because the contributions to the IRA are not deducted from the annuitant's taxable income.
