Traditional IRA
Playing it smart by planning ahead for retirement? By investing in an IRA you can help make your retirement years some of the happiest years of your life.
Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) were created to give wage earners a tax-deferred investment plan for retirement. Open a Traditional IRA and take advantage of the following benefits:
- Defer taxes until money is withdrawn (regardless of income or other pension plans)
- Withdraw money during retirement when you are in a lower tax bracket
- Deduct some or all contributions to a Traditional IRA
Roth IRA
If you like the idea of getting taxed only once and having all earnings tax free when you or your beneficiary withdraw them, then consider the Roth IRA.
Here’s how it works:
- You pay income tax, and then make your contribution with post-tax dollars.
- Your principal grows tax free.
- You pay no further taxes on withdrawal.*
*All contributions and earnings left in the Roth IRA for at least five years and withdrawn after age 59½ will not be taxed, no matter what your tax bracket or income level. And, unlike the Traditional IRA, mandatory distribution is not required at the age of 70 ½.
* Please consult your tax consultant when pulling any funds*
