IRA Benefits

 

Roth vs. traditional IRAs

Roth IRAs provide tax-free growth. Your non-deductible IRA contribution grows tax-free and qualified withdrawals are not taxed. This is a strategy that allows younger investors to potentially grow their investments over the long-term. 

Traditional IRA’s provide tax-deferred growth. Any income your IRA investments earn will not be taxed until you start taking distributions from the account at age 72. This is a popular strategy for those who expect to be in a lower tax bracket upon retirement.

IRAs for self-employed or small business owner

If you are self-employed or a small business owner, consider a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA—with higher contribution limits than other retirement accounts. For the 2020 tax year, contributions can be up to 25% of compensation, with a $57,000 maximum.
