Traditional IRA

Contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax deductible in the contribution year. Distributions are taxed when withdrawn, but since this occurs during retirement, you may often be in a lower tax bracket than before. Anyone under age 70½, regardless of earnings or tax filing status, can contribute to a traditional IRA. Starting at age 72, traditional IRAs are subject to a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

Roth IRA

Contributions to a Roth IRA are taxed and are subject to income limits, restricting how much you can contribute depending on your earnings and filing status. However, regardless of tax bracket or income level, your qualified withdrawals of earnings are tax-free. Roth IRAs are not subject to RMDs, allowing funds to continue growing for as long as you wish.
