Retirement Accounts
Traditional IRA (U.S. taxpayers only)
A Traditional IRA is a tax-deferred retirement account for an individual that permits individuals to set aside up to $4,000 per year ($4,500 if over 50), with earnings tax-deferred until withdrawals begin at age 59 1/2 or later (or earlier, with a 10% penalty). Only those who do not participate in a pension plan at work or who do participate and meet certain income guidelines can make deductible contributions to an IRA. All others can make contributions to an IRA on a non-deductible basis. Such contributions qualify as a deduction against income earned in that year and interest accumulates tax-deferred until the funds are withdrawn.

Roth IRA (U.S. taxpayers only)
A Roth IRA is similar to a Traditional IRA. However, while contributions to a Traditional IRA may be tax-deductible and withdrawals are taxed, contributions to a Roth IRA are taxed, but qualified withdrawals are federal tax-free. After a Roth IRA has been in existence for five years, withdrawals are not taxable if, 1) the account owner turns 59½ years old, 2) the withdrawal (up to $10,000) is used for the first-time purchase of a home, 3) the account owner is disabled or 4) the account owner is deceased.
