Save for Retirement with an IRA

Saving for the future takes time, but can be accelerated if you put your money in an account that offers tax benefits. With an individual retirement account (IRA), you get that and more—great tax benefits and the addition of compounded growth. You can maximize your savings in no time flat! Here’s a brief overview of the different types of IRAs available to you through Patelco.

Traditional IRA
Contributions may be tax-deductible, which can reduce your tax bill, and earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawn. You can also make penalty-free withdrawals for certain qualifying events, such as a first-time home purchase.

Roth IRA
The more flexible IRA. Save on taxes when you retire, with tax-free earnings, and retain the ability to withdraw contributions at any time.

Coverdell Education Savings Account
An ideal way to save for a child’s education expenses. Earnings are tax-free if used for qualified elementary, secondary, or post-secondary education expenses. You can contribute $2,000 each child per year until the child reaches the age of 18.
