5-Year Roth Clock: Do I Need a New Roth IRA for Each Roth Conversion? | YMYW Podcast

"Hello! I drive a 2004 Subaru, drink sour beers and have a mutt. Lucky to live in Colorado. Love the show. I have an existing Roth - opened in 2020 - I will be 59.5 in 2026 so 5 year rule and 59.5 rule will be satisfied whenever I get around to using the funds after that time. No need for them for the foreseeable future. I have heard you mention that each conversion has its own 5 year clock even if I am over 59.5. Does that mean that if I want to convert stock in this down market now that I need to open a new Roth and if I want to do more next year, I need a third Roth, and so on? Or can, I just convert all of it into the existing Roth? If the answer is the former (separate Roths), can I consolidate them as they each hit the five year mark? Thank you, Jason."
