Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

IRAs are a great alternative or supplement to other employer-sponsored retirement plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s. IRAs provide options that can meet your personal tax needs, both now and for the future.

Traditional IRA

A Traditional IRA is a tax-advantaged account that allows earnings and deductible contributions to grow tax-deferred. This benefit allows you to avoid paying income taxes on the earnings and deductible contributions to your IRA until you begin taking distributions, usually after retirement.

  • No income limits to establish
  • Contributions may be tax deductible*
  • Must have earned income and be under age 70½ to contribute
  • Earnings are tax-deferred until distributed
  • Distributions may begin at age 59½
  • Early distributions may be subject to penalty*
  • Required minimum distributions after age 70½


Roth IRA

A Roth IRA allows you to accumulate earnings on a tax-deferred basis and withdraw earnings tax-free for qualified distributions. Unlike a Traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible on your federal tax return.

  • Income limits must be met for Roth IRA eligibility*
  • Contributions are not tax-deductible
  • No age limit to contribute as long as you have earned income
  • Earnings may be tax free at distribution if qualified*
  • Principal contributions may be distributed without penalty*
  • Qualified distributions on earnings may begin at 59½*
  • Early distributions on earnings are subject to penalty*
  • No required distribution age
  • Traditional IRAs may be converted to Roth IRAs*
