An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is an easy way to save money for retirement. You choose the investment term that works best for you and you won’t pay tax on your earnings until you make withdrawals. Whether you are just starting your retirement fund or supplementing an existing plan, we have the IRA that is right for you.
The Traditional IRA is a great way to build your retirement nest egg while enjoying tax benefits. This could be the right choice for you if you are under 70½ and have earned income.
With a Roth IRA, you have flexibility as a retirement tool and the accessibility of funds after five years from the initial investment. You don’t get a tax break when you deposit the money, but the money is tax-free when you take it out, and unlike the Traditional IRA, you don’t have to make annual withdrawals at a certain age.
If you have investment funds in an old employer-sponsored retirement plan, it’s easy to move them into a Traditional IRA savings plan. You keep the same tax benefits and choose which investment tool that best fits your retirement needs.
