IRA

Whether retirement is just around the corner or decades away, you can take steps today to save on taxes and secure your future. With a traditional IRA, you save on taxes now because your contributions may be tax-deductible. With a Roth IRA, you pay taxes on your contributions now, but you don’t pay taxes on your distributions.


Traditional IRA

With a traditional IRA, you may get double tax benefits: You’re often able to deduct your contributions from your taxable income and the interest grows tax-deferred. That means you don’t have to pay taxes on your investment earnings until you request a distribution—and at that time, you may be in a lower tax bracket. Calculate your future finances by utilizing this retirement planning calculator.

Roth IRA

With a Roth IRA, your earnings and withdrawals grow tax-free. That is, when you withdraw your money, you may not have to pay taxes! Plus, after you’ve owned the account for five years, you can request a distribution of your money anytime after age 59½.
