You generally have to start taking withdrawals from your IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, or retirement plan account when you reach age 72 (70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020). Roth IRAs do not require withdrawals until after the death of the owner. You can withdraw more than the minimum required amount.

Can a person contribute to a retirement plan past age 70?
Continuing to make retirement account contributions past age 70 ½ is an individual decision that may make sense in a variety of scenarios. However, whether a client is permitted to make those contributions is governed by strict IRS rules that vary for each type of retirement account.

Different rules govern each type of account, so the client must carefully examine his or her portfolio of retirement accounts to determine where a post-70 ½ contribution may be permissible — as well as the RMD impact of the contribution.
