Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA
Traditional IRA
In a traditional IRA, contributions may be tax deductible and typically your earnings grow tax-deferred. You will be penalized for withdrawing money before age 59½, with some exceptions.
Roth IRA
Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible, but your earnings grow tax-free. As long as you meet the Roth IRA rules and you are 59½ or older, you can access tax-free money when you retire.
You can transfer a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA and pay the tax in a single year. When tax rates go down, this can be a good option for someone who has a larger traditional IRA. Our advisor can talk you through the Roth IRA conversion rules, withdrawal rules, and more.
