Or both. If you ever made nondeductible contributions to your
traditional IRA, part of each distribution will be taxable and part will
be nontaxable.

If you withdraw too soon from your Roth IRA, part of the withdrawal may
be taxable, and there may be penalties as well.

See Publication 590-B for detailed rules on both of these:
