Cashing in a Roth IRA held for greater than 5 years

[Guest PatKF]

I have a Roth IRA, that was converted from a regular IRA in 1998. I want to withdraw some of the money that I originally placed in the Roth.... paid lump sum tax on the amount converted. I am 57 years old. Can I withdraw some of my original investment without paying a penalty or tax?

Withdrawals of amounts that you converted to your Roth IRA in 1998 will be tax and penalty free.
