Are Dividends In Roth IRA Taxable?

Do I have to pay taxes on dividends received in my Roth IRA?

Nope. Whatever you invest in a Roth IRA grows free of taxes on capital gains and dividends. Your ultimate withdrawals will not be taxed, either-if you follow the rules.

Traditional IRAs offer different benefits. The qualified contributions you make to them reduce your taxable income, thereby giving you a tax break up front. But upon withdrawal, gains and dividends are taxed at your ordinary income-tax rate.
