Save for a Greater Future

What is an IRA?

An Individual Retirement Account is a tax-advantaged savings account created by the IRS. At our credit union, we offer two types of retirement accounts: Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Depending on the account you choose to open, you can either defer or avoid taxes altogether when you contribute to or withdraw funds.

Traditional IRA

With Traditional IRAs, you can deduct account contributions from your taxes. You’ll pay taxes on these funds later when you withdraw–normally when you retire.

Contributions

Contribute pre-tax dollars. Dividends may be tax-deferred.*

Deductions

Contributions may be deducted from income tax returns.*

Contribution Limit

$6,000 contribution limit per year. Additional “catch-up” contributions of $1,000 per year are allowed beginning at age 50.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals can begin at age 59½. Mandatory withdrawals at age 72. Early withdrawals subject to penalty.**

Funds Federally Insured

to $250,000

Roth IRA

With Roth IRAs, you’ll pay taxes on any contributions you make now. Later (again, typically when you retire) you can withdraw funds tax-free.

Contributions

Contribute after-tax dollars. Earnings and principal are 100% tax free upon withdrawal.*

Deductions

Contributions are not tax deductible.

Contribution Limit

$6,000 contribution limit per year. Additional “catch-up” contributions of $1,000 per year are allowed beginning at age 50.

Withdrawals

No mandatory distribution age. Principal contributions can be withdrawn without penalty. Early withdrawals on interest subject to penalty.**

Funds Federally Insured

to $250,000

*Consult your tax advisor.
**Certain exceptions apply, such as healthcare, purchasing your first home, etc.

IRA Share Accounts & Certificates

How you invest in your IRA is up to you. With both types of IRAs–Traditional and Roth–you have the option of saving via an IRA Share account or IRA Share Certificate.

If you’re opening an IRA for the first time or need a place to hold your IRA while you plan to reinvest, an IRA Share account is a good option. There’s no minimum balance or term requirement, and it pays a variable rate.

Looking for something with a higher fixed rate? Consider opening an IRA Share Certificate. They require a minimum balance and term, but typically pay a higher fixed rate than an IRA Share account.
