It's your retirement and it's your choice how to prepare. First Credit Union offers both Traditional and Roth individual retirement account options. Read on to learn about some of the unique tax advantages of each. 

Traditional IRA

Are you under age 70½ with earned income or file jointly with a spouse with earned income? Or have you received a distribution from a qualified retirement plan and want to move the proceeds into a retirement savings account? A Traditional IRA might be right for you. Benefits include:

  • Earnings grow tax deferred until withdrawn
  • Contributions may be tax deductible
  • Penalty-free withdrawals for qualified education expenses, qualifying medical expenses, and first time home purchase*

Roth IRA

Do you have earned income and your modified adjusted gross income is less than the defined limits set by Congress? A Roth IRA might be right for you. Benefits include:

  • Earnings are tax deferred and qualified withdrawals of earnings are tax free if the account is open for five years
  • Qualified withdrawal reasons include disability, death, age 59½ or older or first time home purchase*
  • Not required to begin withdrawals at age 70½

Not sure?

Here are a couple of general rules-of-thumb:

  • Choose a Traditional IRA if you want the tax deduction right now - it's also a better choice if you anticipate paying taxes at a significantly lower rate in retirement
  • Choose a Roth IRA if you don't need the tax break right now - its flexibility allows you to withdraw regular contributions at any time, tax and penalty free plus you don't have to take mandatory distributions at age 70½.

As always, consult with your tax advisor for complete details. This information is general and not intended to be tax advice. Please consult a tax professional.
