Given that I’m a Clark guy, no surprise I’m a Roth IRA fan.

Question: Can I take out the $5,000 I put in earlier this year and replace it if I put it back in by April 15 of next year?

I know you can take money you’ve put in to a Roth, just not the earnings. But you can’t put it back in. I’m hoping there’s an exception if it’s money I put in for this year.

I called the CAC but they were unsure. Hoping maybe someone knows for sure.

Ah ok I thought that 60 day rule applied only to contributions in previous years.
