Frequently Asked Questions

    You can open and fund one without employer participation.
    Contributions/earnings are tax-deferred until retirement.1
    Depending on your plan participation and income, you may benefit from tax deductions.
    Your funds are always available, which is generally not true of employer plans.
    There’s no minimum contribution.

    The main difference between them is when you pay taxes.1
    Traditional IRA is tax deferred. This means that you can contribute money before it’s taxed, and you don’t owe taxes on those contributions or your earnings until you withdraw the money. It’s likely that you will be earning less when you begin to withdraw from your IRA, which means that you may end up being in a lower tax bracket and paying less overall in taxes.
    Roth IRA is not tax deferred, which means you owe taxes when you contribute the money to the account. But that means you won’t have to worry about paying them later and your contribution can grow tax-free. Withdrawals of contributions and earnings are tax free if your account has been open at least five years, and you’re at least 59 and a half.

    A Roth IRA conversion is when you take savings from a Traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA, or qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan (QRP), such as a 401(k), and move them to a Roth IRA. Once you convert to a Roth IRA, it can’t be undone.
    At the time of conversion, you will pay the appropriate taxes due on before-tax dollars converted; the 10% additional tax does not apply on the amount converted.
    The benefits of tax-free income in retirement may justify the conversion.
    Your tax advisor is always the best person to discuss your specific situation and provide guidance for your situation.
