What Is an IRA?

An individual retirement account (IRA) allows you to save


money for retirement in a tax-advantaged way.
An IRA is an account set up at a financial institution that allows an
individual to save for retirement with tax-free growth or on a tax-deferred
basis. There are three main types of IRAsTraditional, Roth, and Rollover
each with different advantages.

In a Traditional IRA, you make contributions with money you may be


able to deduct on your tax return and any earnings can potentially grow
tax-deferred until you withdraw them in retirement. 1 Many retirees also
find themselves in a lower tax bracket than they were in pre-retirement,
so the tax-deferral means the money may be taxed at a lower rate.

With a Roth IRA, you make contributions with money youve already
paid taxes on (after-tax) and your money may potentially grow tax-free,
with tax-free withdrawals in retirement, provided that certain conditions
are met.2

A Rollover IRA is a Traditional IRA intended for money "rolled over"


from a qualified retirement plan. Rollovers involve moving eligible assets
from an employer-sponsored plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), into an
IRA.

Roth IRA
With a Roth IRA, you make contributions with money on which
you've already paid taxes. Your money can then potentially
grow tax-free, with tax-free withdrawals in retirement, provided
that certain conditions are met.1
