Which of the following is TRUE regarding Traditional IRAs?
[A]Money contributed to a Traditional IRA is always after-
tax.[B]Beginning date for first required minimum distributions (RMDs)
is April 1st of the year following the calendar year in which the

[C]Money that is paid out of a Traditional IRA is tax-free to the

B)
Under IRS Regulations for Traditional IRAs, Required Minimum
Distributions (RMDs) must begin by April 1st of the year following
the calendar year in which the account holder reaches age 72. A

though that is the earliest that a person can take distributions from
the Traditional IRA without penalty with a few exceptions.
An investor who contributes to a Traditional IRA does so on a pre-tax
basis, receiving a deduction from earned income in the year that the
contribution was made and thus reducing his income for that year,
lowering his tax burden while working. All money that is paid out of
a Traditional IRA is taxable at the investor's ordinary income tax
rate and would not be tax-free.
