If you haven't met the five-year holding requirement, your earnings will be subject to taxes but not penalties.

From the text from schwab, appears that ONLY the roth IRA, even if unfunded, can be withdrawn from after the age of 5 years, regardless of when the conversions were deposited. .

ie, the sooner you open a ROTH IRA, regardless of funding, the earlier you can tax withdrawals without taxes

Wealth advisors vs random internet posters, wealth advisors win
I always get a kick out of the tile "wealth advisors"...LOL ! The information on here is really confusing ! Not sure what "tax withdrawals without taxes" actually means ? And the "rules" from various financial institutions not very clear either !
