About IRAs

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are tax-advantaged investment accounts designed to help you save for retirement. There are two main types: Traditional and Roth IRAs.

Traditional IRA Features

  • Contributions may be tax-deductible
  • Earnings grow tax-deferred
  • Withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income

Roth IRA Features

  • Contributions are made with after-tax dollars
  • Qualified withdrawals are tax-free
  • No required minimum distributions (RMDs)

For 2024, the total contribution limit for all your IRAs (Traditional and Roth combined) is $7,000, or $8,000 if you're age 50 or older.
