Is it time to ship on Archer? Or do you think they are going to correct things and its still good for the future?
I hear thatI cant help but be suspicious of any data coming out due to these clowns cooking the books to fit their narratives.
F it, let's see what Cava has goingI eat there all the time, it's always packed
Novice question, but I was a little confused, so I figured I'd ask.
Will my Roth IRA earnings count as part of my annual income?
For example, if I hypothetically made $15,000 off of my Amzn investment, that I only put $500 of principal into.
I realized the gain, but I never withdrew the money from the Roth IRA
Will that count as income that is taken into account when it comes to health insurance and things like that, or is it separate because it's within the Roth IRA?

Nope — your Roth IRA earnings do not count toward your annual taxable income in that situation.
Here’s why:
- Roth IRA growth is tax-deferred and potentially tax-free — as long as the money stays inside the Roth IRA, it isn’t reported on your tax return, even if you sell investments and realize gains inside the account.
- Selling your Amazon shares inside the Roth IRA just turns your investment from stock into cash (or another asset) within the account — no taxable event for regular income or capital gains purposes.
- The IRS only cares about Roth IRA money for tax purposes if you withdraw it, and even then, qualified withdrawals are tax-free.
So in your hypothetical:
- You put in $500 principal.
- It grew to $15,500 (gain of $15,000).
- You sold inside the Roth IRA but kept the money in the account.
Result: No impact on your current year’s taxable income, no need to report the gain this year.
The only thing that matters for taxes is whether you meet the rules for qualified Roth withdrawals (age 59½+ and account open at least 5 years) when you eventually take the money out.
