Roth IRA

Is a Roth IRA right for you?

A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account that offers the opportunity for tax-free income in retirement. Annual contributions are taxed upfront and all earnings are federal tax-free when they are distributed according to IRS rules. This is much different than a Traditional IRA, which taxes withdrawals. Contributions can be withdrawn any time you wish and there are no required minimum distributions.  If you are in a lower tax bracket today than you will be during retirement, a Roth IRA may be a smart choice.

Benefits of a Roth IRA

  • Withdrawals of earnings are free from federal income tax, provided the Roth IRA has been in existence for five years and you are at least 59½.
  • Contributions can be withdrawn anytime without federal income taxes or penalties.
  • RMDs (Required Minimum Distribution) are not required.
  • Distributions for your beneficiaries are tax-free.
