Frequently Asked Questions

  • Roth IRA earnings are tax-deferred: Contribute after-tax dollars at any age. Earnings grow tax-deferred and may be tax-free when withdrawn. You pay no taxes on your withdrawals if your account has been open for five tax years and if you’re withdrawing for a qualified reason.
  • Traditional IRA earnings grow tax-deferred until you begin to withdraw them. But, your Traditional IRA contributions are tax deductible every year that you invest the maximum allowed by law. Tax deferment can be valuable if you expect to pay significantly lower taxes after you retire (and begin drawing on your funds).
