About Ira
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a type of investment account that allows you to save for retirement in a tax-advantaged way. There are several different types of IRAs, including Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, and SEP IRAs (Simplified Employee Pension).
Traditional IRAs are funded with tax-deductible contributions, which means that you can deduct the amount of money you contribute to your IRA on your tax return. The money in your Traditional IRA grows tax-free until you withdraw it in retirement, at which point you will pay taxes on the withdrawals.
Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax contributions, which means that you do not receive a tax deduction for the money you contribute. However, the money in your Roth IRA grows tax-free and can be withdrawn tax-free in retirement as long as you meet certain conditions.
SEP IRAs are designed for self-employed individuals or small business owners. They allow you to contribute a percentage of your income to a retirement account on a tax-deferred basis.
There are annual contribution limits for IRAs, and there may be income limits that determine whether you are eligible to contribute to a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. It is important to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to determine which type of IRA is right for you and how much you are able to contribute.
