It’s never too early to start planning for retirement. We make it easy by offering three types of IRA plans for you to choose from. An IRA is a retirement account designed to help individuals save for retirement. Each type of IRA has its own eligibility restrictions based on income and employment status and all have caps on how much money can be contributed each year and IRS penalties for withdrawals before the designated retirement age.
A Traditional IRA is a way to save for retirement that gives you tax advantages.
- You must have earned income to qualify.
- You can contribute any amount to a Traditional IRA up to your annual limit.
- If eligible, you may deduct your annual contribution on your income tax return for the year.
- Earnings accrue tax-deferred on the investments within your Traditional IRA, potentially increasing your balance.
- Once you reach age 59-1/2, withdraw as little or as much money as you want IRS penalty-free until age 72. After age 72, you must take a minimum distribution each year.
- Under the SECURE Act, passed in December 2019, IRA holders may continue to make annual contributions indefinitely to a Traditional IRA, so long as they have earned income. However, you will still be required to take your annual RMD when you reach 72.
- Under the CARES Act, you may be eligible to skip your RMD for 2020.
We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor before taking action.
