Roth Overview

A Roth IRA was created to let you earn retirement money tax-free on your investments.

A Roth IRA offers:

  • Tax-free growth. Don't ever pay federal taxes on your earnings, assuming you meet guidelines.
  • No annual distribution requirements. You don't have to withdraw money until you're ready for retirement.
  • Flexible contributions. You can keep contributing after retirement (beyond age 70 ½).
  • A wide variety of investments.

Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA

*Based on your income level and other limitations, consult your tax advisor for specifics.
