What Is an IRA?

An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a tax-advantaged account designed to help individuals save for retirement. Contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax-deductible, which can reduce taxable income for the year contributions are made. However, withdrawals in retirement are taxed as income.

How Does an IRA Work?

With a traditional IRA, contributions are invested in the market, allowing for potential long-term growth. Taxes on contributions are deferred until retirement, meaning taxes are paid when the money is withdrawn.

What Is an IRA Rollover?

An IRA rollover transfers funds from one retirement account to another. This process can involve moving money from a 401(k) or another IRA into a traditional or Roth IRA. To avoid tax penalties, funds must be transferred between similar account types within a set timeframe. Rolling a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA may trigger income taxes.

Why Use an IRA?

Unlike employer-sponsored plans such as a 401(k), an IRA offers more control over investment choices and is accessible to those without employer retirement plans. This makes it a flexible option for individuals seeking to build their retirement savings independently.
