RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

Roth IRAs

A Roth IRA with Thrivent Mutual Funds is an individual retirement account to which you make contributions with money on which you’ve already paid taxes. With a Roth IRA you have the potential to take tax-free withdrawals of earnings in retirement. Learn about the features, rules, and limits of a Roth IRA.

Roth IRAs are a great choice for people who:
  • Have earned income.
  • Expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement.
  • Would benefit from federal tax-free distributions of earnings in the future.
  • Don’t want to be subject to Required Minimum Distributions.
  • Want the flexibility to withdraw contributions at any time.
Roth IRA highlights
Contribution limits
  • 2024: $7,000 total; $8,000 if you're age 50 or older. 
  • 2025: $7,000 total; $8,000 if you're age 50 or older.
  • Contribution limit applies to aggregate of Roth and Traditional IRA contributions.
  • No age limit to open or contribute to a Roth IRA.
  • You or your spouse must have earned income to contribute. Contributions may be reduced, or you may be ineligible to make contributions depending on your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) for the year. See IRS contributions and deduction limits or IRS Publication 590-A for further details.
  • Contributions are not tax deductible.
Thrivent minimum investment
  • $1,000 per Thrivent mutual fund without recurring contributions, or
  • $50 monthly recurring contribution for all Thrivent mutual funds.
Roth IRA conversion
  • If you have assets in a Traditional IRA or employer-sponsored retirement plan and decide that a Roth IRA is a better fit, you can convert some or all those assets into a Roth IRA.
  • Federal and possibly state income tax will be due the year of the conversion.
  • A conversion is generally most advantageous if you expect your tax bracket to be higher in the future and if you can pay any taxes on the amount converted with assets from outside your IRA.
  • Transfer/Direct Rollover/Conversion Request: You can initiate an online request for an IRA-to-IRA transfer, direct rollover, or Roth IRA conversion. You can also download a form (MF11502) to initiate these transactions.
Distributions
  • No required minimum distributions during the owner's lifetime; however, beneficiaries must take required minimum distributions similar to Traditional IRAs.
  • Qualified distributions are free from federal income tax (see section on Qualified Distributions). In addition, contributions (principal) can be withdrawn tax- and penalty-free at any time.
  • The earnings portion of non-qualified distributions are subject to federal income tax and if taken before age 59 ½ may also be subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty unless an exception applies.
Ordering rules for distributions
  • If you take a distribution from your Roth IRA that is not a qualified distribution, part of it may be taxable. There is a set order that contributions, conversions, and earnings are distributed from your Roth IRA. If you have multiple Roth IRA’s, they are aggregated together for ordering purposes. The order is: 
  1. Contributions.
  2. Roth IRA conversions and rollover contributions from other types of retirement accounts on a first-in, first-out basis. The taxable portion of the conversion/rollover is first, followed by the nontaxable portion. 
  3. Earnings.
Qualified distributions
  • Qualified distributions are not subject to federal income tax. State tax treatment varies. Check with your tax advisor for more information.
  • A distribution is qualified if it meets the following criteria:
    • It has been at least 5 years from the beginning of the year the first Roth IRA contribution or conversion was made for; AND
    • You reach age 59 ½, you are buying your first home ($10,000 limit), you are disabled, or the distribution is made to the beneficiary of the IRA.
Early withdrawal penalty exceptions
  • You may not have to pay the 10% additional penalty tax on the taxable portion of a non-qualified distribution. Check with your tax advisor for more information.
Thrivent Mutual Funds fees
  • Annual Retirement custodial fee is $15 per shareholder (Traditional, SEP and Roth IRAs combined). Fee may be waived if you have $50,000 or more invested in Thrivent mutual funds. Fees are also waived for shareholders that have an automatic purchase plan for $3,000 or more annually into their Traditional or Roth IRA accounts.
  • Retirement account closeout fee of $15 may apply if all accounts in that retirement plan fee group are closed prior to the annual fee occurring.
  • Semiannual low balance fee of $10 may apply for those accounts not maintaining minimum balance requirements. See the Prospectus for more information.
  • Other fees may apply for certain services and are redeemed directly from your account. Examples include overnight delivery or wire fees.
