An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) – known as an “individual retirement arrangement” by the IRS – is a long-term, tax-advantaged savings account that individuals with earned income can use to save for the future.

Traditional IRA Savings

The IRA Savings account is designed primarily for self-employed people who do not have access to workplace retirement accounts such as the 401(k), which is available only through employers. However, you can also have an IRA even if you already have a retirement plan at work to enhance your retirement income. Can reduce your taxable annual income up to the allowable contributions for that tax year.

Roth IRA

Roth IRAs are similar to traditional IRAs, with the biggest distinction being how the two are taxed. Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax dollars. Unlike a traditional IRA, the contributions are not tax-deductible, but once you start withdrawing funds, the money you take out is tax-free.
