IRAs

There are two main types of IRAs: Roth and Traditional. The following is a general explanation of these investment instruments; there are limitations on all of them.

The Roth IRA is a nondeductible IRA, meaning you don’t deduct your IRA contribution from your gross income the year you contribute. Any earnings on your investment is tax-free if taken out after age 59 1/2.

The Traditional IRA is a deductible IRA, if you qualify. The money you invest is deducted from your gross income the year you contribute. Any withdrawals from your account after age 59 1/2 is taxed at your current rate at that time.

Penalties may apply on early withdrawals from either IRA prior to age 59 1/2.

For self-employed 1099 income, there are additional options available.
