ROTH IRA
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a tax-advantaged account you can use to save for retirement outside of an employer-sponsored plan.
The tax benefit of a Roth IRA is that withdrawals you make in retirement are not taxed. It may be best for you if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket when you retire.1
For an IRA that offers you possible tax advantages now, consider a Traditional IRA.1
How it works
- Make after-tax contributions up to $7,000 ($8,000 if you're over age 50).
- Watch your savings grow tax-free.
- Withdrawals can be made IRS penalty- and tax-free after five years and age 59½.
- Make contributions until any age, as long as you have earned income.
How to qualify
- You're 18 or older with earned income can make contributions.
- If your modified adjusted gross income is less than $146,000 if single, or $230,000 if married filing jointly, you can contribute up to $7,000.
- If your modified adjusted gross income is between $146,000 – $161,000 if single, or $230,000 – $240,000 if married filing jointly, you can contribute a reduced amount.
- If your modified adjusted gross income is more than $161,000 if single, or $240,000 if married filing jointly, consider a Traditional IRA.
