Traditional IRA

A Traditional IRA is an individual retirement account that:

  • May provide tax benefits because contributions may be tax deductible.
  • Investment earnings can also grow tax-deferred until withdrawn, typically at retirement.

  • You may contribute up to $6,500 of earned income ($7,500 if you are age 50 or older)

  • Withdrawals are penalty-free and taxed as ordinary income when taken after age 59½.

  • Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) begins;

    • April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which you reach age 70½, if you were born before July 1, 1949.
    • April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which you reach age 72, if you were born after Jun 30, 1949.
    • You generally must start taking withdrawals from your traditional IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and retirement plan accounts when you reach age 72 (73 if you reach age 72 after Dec. 31, 2022).

If you are in a higher tax bracket today than you will be during retirement, a Traditional IRA may be a smart choice.

Roth IRA

A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account that offers:

  • The opportunity for tax-free income in retirement.
  • Annual contributions are taxed upfront

  • You may contribute up to $6,500 of earned income ($7,500 if you are age 50 or older)

  • Earnings are federal tax-free when they are distributed according to IRS rules. This is much different than a Traditional IRA, which taxes withdrawals.
  • Contributions can be withdrawn at any time
  • Minimum distributions are not required if you are the original owner.
  • Contributions may be made after age 72. As long as you have earned income.

If you are in a lower tax bracket today than you will be during retirement, a Roth IRA may be a smart choice.

You can Fund your IRA Account with:

  • Regular Contributions: An IRA Contribution bases on the compensation (including earned income) of the IRA owner.
  • Prior Year Contributions: If you did not maximize your regular contribution in the prior year, the IRS allows you to make a contribution in the current year and apply it to the prior year, providing you make the contribution by the tax deadline, normally April 15th.
  • Rollover Contributions: An IRS reportable movement of accumulated retirement funds either between like IRAs or Qualified Retirement Plans to an IRA.
  • Trustee Transfers Contribution: A non-reportable movement of accumulated IRA funds between Financial Institutions between like IRAs only.
