IRA's
An IRA is an Individual Retirement Account in which you make contributions toward your future financial security. The amount you put in is flexible, so you may contribute whenever and in whatever amounts you so desire per IRS guidelines. The two most important features for establishing an IRA are:
-
Tax-deductible contributions
-
Tax-deferred earnings
Roth IRA
With the passage of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, a new type of
IRA called the Roth IRA was created. This program is designed to
help people save for retirement. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not
tax deductible like the traditional IRAs. However, qualified
distributions from a Roth IRA are received TAX FREE, and this is why
they are very popular.
