What is an IRA?

An IRA is an Individual Retirement Account. A traditional IRA is a type of retirement plan that has been in existence since 1975. Traditional IRAs offer tax-deferred earnings and the possibility for tax-deductible contributions. An IRA is a balanced, long-term savings plan. Penalities apply when the investment is withdrawn prior to the IRA's maturity date.

Are there limits to how much I can contribute to an IRA in a year?

Yes. Speak to member service for information on annual contribution limits. These limits are determined based on your age and other tax-filing information.

Are a Traditional and a Roth IRA the same thing?

No. Contributions to a Roth IRA is never tax-deductible. However, the money in a Roth IRA, including earnings, can be withdrawn tax-free. Please conform to the plan provisions in order to get this tax-free advantage.
