Traditional IRAs vs. Roth IRAs

Traditional IRA

A Traditional IRA can help you save for retirement while offering potential tax advantages today. Contributions may be tax-deductible, depending on your income and whether you participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Earnings grow tax-deferred, which means you won’t pay taxes on them until you begin taking withdrawals in retirement.

This may be a good option if you want potential tax savings now while building long-term retirement savings.

Key features:

  • Potential tax-deductible contributions, depending on income and participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan
  • Tax-deferred growth, allowing your savings to compound over time
  • Withdrawals in retirement are taxed as ordinary income
  • Required minimum distributions (RMDs) begin at age 73
  • Penalties may apply to withdrawals taken before age 59½

A Traditional IRA may be a practical choice for individuals who want to reduce current taxable income while continuing to save for retirement.

Roth IRA

A Roth IRA can help you save for retirement with potential tax advantages in the future. Contributions are made with after-tax dollars, so they are not tax-deductible. Earnings may grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals in retirement may also be tax-free, provided IRS requirements are met.

This may be a good option if you want to focus on potential tax-free income in retirement rather than potential tax savings today.

Key features:

  • Contributions are not tax-deductible
  • Earnings may grow tax-free, provided qualified requirements are met
  • Qualified withdrawals in retirement may be tax-free
  • No required minimum distributions (RMDs) during the original account owner’s lifetime
  • Penalties may apply to certain withdrawals taken before age 59½ or before qualified distribution requirements are met

A Roth IRA may be a practical choice for individuals who want to build long-term retirement savings with the potential for tax-free income in retirement.
