A Roth contribution to your retirement savings plan allows you to make after-tax contributions and take any associated earnings completely tax free at retirement - as long as the distribution is a qualified one. A qualified distribution, in this case, is one that is taken at least five tax years after your first Roth 401(k) contribution and after you have attained age 59½, or become disabled or die.

collapsed, click to expand | What is a Roth In-Plan Conversion? |
Roth In-Plan Conversion options are available in Toyoda Gosei 401(k) Plan. This option provides you with the opportunity to convert all, or a portion of your non-Roth assets to Roth assets. The amount eligible for conversion, may include all of a participant’s vested assets, including both eligible contributions and related earnings.
Special tax rules apply to Roth In-Plan Conversion options and are an important consideration in determining whether to do such a conversion. Generally, the taxable amount of a conversion is determined as if the converted assets were distributed to you from the Plan, although the assets will only be transferred to the Roth portion of your account and no amount will actually be paid from the Plan. The taxable amount (determined as if actually distributed to you) is taxable to you in the year of the conversion and should be reported on your income tax return for that year. For more information related to the tax consequence of a conversion, you should consult your tax or financial advisor before undertaking such a conversion. You may contact the Fidelity Retirement Benefits Line at 800-835-5095 to process a Roth In-Plan Conversion.
