Traditional IRAs Roth IRAs

Overview

The traditional IRA is an individual retirement account that allows you to defer taxes on your contribution earnings until they are withdrawn. Certain contributions are also tax-deductible in the tax year for which you make them. 

The Roth IRA allows only nondeductible contributions and features tax-free withdrawals for certain distribution reasons after a five-year holding period. If you expect to be in a higher tax bracket when you retire, you may benefit more from a Roth IRA, since contributions are nondeductible and taxed in the year they are earned. 

Contribution Requirements

Add money at any age, as long as you have earned compensation.
