Traditional IRAs
With a Traditional IRA account, funds contributed grow tax-deferred and may be tax-deductible. The money you deposit into this account isn’t taxed until you withdraw it. If you take money out of this account before age 59 ½, you will have to pay a penalty in most cases.
The IRA owner must have earned income (wages) during the tax year for which the regular contribution is made. For maximum annual contribution and tax-deductibility please seek advice from your tax consultant.
Minimum opening contributions, early withdrawal penalty or compensating fees may apply.
Roth IRAs
With a Roth IRA, the funds that you contribute are not tax-deductible; however, any money you withdraw from the account (including earnings) will not be taxed. Ask Bank of Labor how to help you establish a Roth IRA account.
- Available to persons with earned income or to non-working spouses regardless of age, subject to income limitations
- For maximum annual contribution please seek advice from your tax consultant.
- Minimum opening contributions, early withdrawal or compensating fees may apply
Transfer and Rollover IRAs
With a transfer IRA, you move your IRA funds from custodian to custodian or from trustee to trustee, making the transaction easier for tax purposes, since no 1099s are required. A rollover IRA is distributed from one IRA or qualified plan, then deposited into another IRA or qualified plan within a 60-day period. This allows the funds to keep their tax-advantaged status.
- Transfer IRAs make the transaction easier for tax purposes
- Rollover IRAs deposit funds from one qualified plan to another
