Allow your investment earnings to grow potentially tax-free until you withdraw them in retirement.  Contributions may be tax-deductible, allowing you to lower your current tax bill. When you retire, your withdrawals are taxed as regular income. Anyone who has earned income equal to or greater than his or her IRA contribution, is eligible to open a Traditional IRA.

Roth IRA

Roth IRAs allow for tax-free distributions, including interest earnings after one of several life events occurs. It’s this flexibility that makes the Roth IRA an attractive investment for retirement. Typically, customers enjoy greater tax savings with a Roth IRA than with a Traditional IRA. If you are looking for a safe retirement savings option, this is a perfect place to start.
