If you’re thinking about retirement, congratulations! That’s the first step toward financial security in your older years. While your unique circumstances should determine how you invest your money, an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) may be a smart choice for your future.
A variety of IRAs are available for retirement planning—each with its own advantages for investors. From Traditional to Roth to Rollover accounts, here are the different types of IRAs to help you decide which option is right for you.
An IRA is an Individual Retirement Account. It’s an account set up at a financial institution that allows an individual person to save for retirement with either tax-deferred or tax-free growth.1
There are two main types of IRAs: Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, each has its own distinct advantages. To find out which account is right for you, check out the chart below.
You can fund an IRA with annual contributions, transfer monies from another institution or “rollover” funds.
While your unique circumstances should determine how you invest your money, an IRA may be a smart choice for your future.”
You’ll have to a pay a penalty — 10% of your withdrawal — for early withdrawal from your IRA. You may also owe income tax in addition to the penalty.
You can withdraw contributions early (but not earnings) from a Roth IRA without being subject to income tax or the penalty.
A rollover IRA is an account that allows for the transfer of assets (directly or indirectly) from another plan such as a 401k, 403b, or 457.
Once you open an IRA, you can choose to include a variety of investments such as CDs, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more. The money you invest into your accounts today can lead to more money when you need it in retirement.
Certain IRS rules govern who can contribute to an IRA, so before opening one make sure you’re eligible. We also recommend that you talk to your tax advisor or one of our CFS Financial Advisors2.
If you’ve been affected by an online scam, it’s important to notify your bank and government agencies that track and investigate these crimes. Follow these steps to recover from the fraud.
Computers and mobile devices can make us incredibly vulnerable to fraud. Here are some tips to help you stay safe online.
