"What's the deal with IRA anyway?"

IRA (also known as Individual Retirement Account) can be your best buddy when it comes to getting an income tax break. Whether or not you can deduct your contributions (which so few can these days), all IRAs let you defer taxes on your earnings. So whatever you make, you get to keep…as long as you keep it in the IRA. Besides tax deferral, different types of IRAs come with other tax-friendly features.


Traditional IRAs. Anyone with earned income can open a Traditional IRA. This IRA offers all the potential benefits of tax-deferred growth.and for a select few, the added advantage of tax deductions.

Roth IRAs. These types of IRAs are available to those within certain income limits. For those who qualify, Roth IRAs may offer the double whammy of tax-deferred growth potential now-and tax-free income later. (Subject to restrictions, of course, which you'll want to review.)

Rollover IRAs. These types of IRAs are designed to house money you have in an employer's plan or another IRA. As long as you transfer the money directly from your plan into your Rollover IRA, there's no contribution limit, no penalties, no income taxes, no headaches.



"Is your spouse not working?"

Doesn't mean an IRA can't work for him or her! In fact, there's a special IRA for non-working spouses called the Spousal IRA. That's easy to remember, isn't it? And just as easy to open (as long as you file a joint tax return). If you are interested in setting up an IRA we can help. Just let us know, we are ready to talk.
