IRA

An important part of your retirement savings plan.

With every deposit you make to an Individual Retirement Account, you take another step toward a comfortable retirement. Even if you anticipate having some of your income replaced by Social Security or a pension, an IRA can build dependable wealth for you to rely on after you are done working.

IRAs provide a tax-advantaged way to save that is based on your needs. You don’t have to have a large amount of money to put aside to get started. Plus, our team can help you identify ways to budget better so you can make regular contributions.

IRA Options

Traditional IRA: You may be able to lower your tax bill today when you invest in a Traditional IRA. Contributions made to this type of account reduce your income for the year. You then pay taxes when you withdraw funds in your retirement. This can be a great option if you are currently paying a high marginal tax rate and expect your rate to go down in retirement.

Roth IRA: Unlike a Traditional IRA, you are not able to deduct contributions made to your IRA from your income. Instead, your investment earnings will grow tax-free. When you make withdrawals in retirement, you will not be responsible for paying additional taxes.

Education IRA: A Coverdell Education Savings Account is an IRA that lets you make contributions for a child’s educational future. Contributions are non-deductible, but funds can be withdrawn tax-free when they are used for educational purposes. Savings can be used for a variety of expenses like tuition, books and uniforms for elementary school through higher levels of learning.
