Individual Retirement Accounts

What is an IRA?

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are accounts specifically set up for anyone with earned income to save for retirement. It’s never too early to start saving: the sooner you start, the longer your money has to grow. Moreover, you might want to consider rolling over your 401K employer plan to your IRA, save on the administrative fees and maximize your investment options. The money you put away is NCUA-insured up to allowable limits, so it’s worry free.

Traditional or Roth?

The biggest difference between a Roth and a Traditional IRA is how and when you get a tax break. The tax advantage of a Traditional IRA is NOW: your contributions are tax-deductible in the year they are made. The tax advantage of a Roth IRA is LATER: your withdrawals in retirement are not taxed. For more details on how they differ, refer to this useful table from IRS. As always, consult your tax advisor for additional information.

Simplified Employee Pension

A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA can be opened by an employer, who might simply be a self-employed individual. It allows small business owners to provide a basic retirement plan for their employees as well as their own retirement savings, without the cost and complexity of a 401(k) or similar plan. Employers can take a tax deduction for their contributions, much like a traditional IRA.
