About Roth

A Roth account is a type of individual retirement account (IRA) that is funded with after-tax dollars. This means that the money you contribute to a Roth account has already been taxed and you will not receive a tax deduction for your contributions. However, the money you contribute to a Roth account grows tax-free and you can withdraw your contributions and any earnings on them tax-free in retirement.

One of the main benefits of a Roth account is that it provides tax-free income in retirement. This can be especially valuable for people who expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement than they are currently, as they can avoid paying higher taxes on their retirement income.

To be eligible to contribute to a Roth account, you must meet certain income requirements. There are also limits on how much you can contribute to a Roth account each year. It's important to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to determine if a Roth account is right for you and to understand the specific rules and limitations that apply.
