Benefits and Why invest in an IRA?

IRAs allow you to save for retirement and potentially take advantage of tax benefits. Depending on which IRA you choose, your tax benefits could include:

  • Tax-deferred accumulation
  • Contribution deduction
  • Tax-free distribution

A Traditional IRA offers tax-deferred growth potential. You pay no taxes on any investment earnings until you withdraw, or “distribute,” the money from your account, presumably in retirement.2

You can contribute to a Traditional IRA regardless of your age, as long as you, or your spouse, if filing jointly, have earned income, but your contribution may not be fully deductible. Your ability to deduct contributions generally depends on your participation in a workplace retirement plan (WRP)3 and your income.

  • If you and your spouse, are not covered4 by a WRP, you can fully deduct the amount of the Traditional IRA contribution you are eligible to make.
  • If you are covered4 by a WRP, deductions are phased out based upon Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI)
