IRA FAQs

What is an IRA?

An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a tax-advantaged investment account designed to help you save for retirement. IRAs offer various tax benefits depending on the type: Traditional IRAs provide tax-deferred growth with potential tax deductions on contributions, Roth IRAs offer tax-free withdrawals in retirement, and Rollover IRAs allow you to consolidate retirement funds from previous employer-sponsored plans.

How does a Traditional IRA differ from a Roth IRA?

The main differences lie in tax treatment and eligibility:

  • Traditional IRA: Contributions may be tax-deductible, earnings grow tax-deferred, and withdrawals in retirement are taxed as ordinary income. Best for those who expect to be in a lower tax bracket in retirement.
  • Roth IRA: Contributions are made with after-tax dollars, earnings grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free. Best for those who expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement or want tax-free income later.

What are the contribution limits for IRAs?

For 2024, the annual IRA contribution limit is $7,000 for individuals under age 50. If you're 50 or older, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000, bringing your total to $8,000. These limits apply to the combined total of all your Traditional and Roth IRA contributions. Contribution limits are subject to change annually and may be affected by your income level for Roth IRAs.

Can I contribute to an IRA if I have a Qualified Retirement Plan (QRP) at work like a 401(k)?

Yes, you can contribute to an IRA even if you participate in a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. However, your ability to deduct Traditional IRA contributions may be limited based on your income and whether you (or your spouse) are covered by a workplace retirement plan. Roth IRA contributions are not affected by workplace plan participation, but they have income limits that determine eligibility. You can contribute to both a 401(k) and an IRA in the same year, allowing you to maximize your retirement savings.

At what age can I start making distributions from my IRA?

You can start taking penalty-free distributions from your IRA at age 59½. Withdrawals before this age are generally subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty in addition to ordinary income taxes (with some exceptions for hardships). For Traditional IRAs, you must begin taking Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) starting at age 73 (as of 2023). Roth IRAs do not have RMDs during the owner's lifetime, making them attractive for estate planning purposes.
