I am in a situation where I might need to make an emergency withdrawal from my Roth IRA and want to make sure I understand everything correctly
For example if you have a Roth with $6,000 USD invested
Your contributions are $5,000
And capital gains are obviously $1,000 in this example

Can’t you withdraw $5,000 and less and avoid taxes and penalties? You just are required to not touch the amount of capital gains you made?
