Roth IRA

This is the IRA that’s getting all the press these days, and it’s easy to see why. For 2021 you can deposit up to $6,000 per person ($7,000 if you’re over age 50) in to your Roth IRA.

Now, while you don’t get a tax deduction for your IRA contribution, the earnings on your account grow tax free until retirement. Plus, unlike a Traditional IRA, you can enjoy the tax benefits of a Roth whether or not you have a pension, 401(k) or KEOGH plan where you work.

Traditional IRA

This IRA has been around for a long time, and for good reason. Contribute up to $6,000 per year ($7,000 if you’re over age 50), and if you met certain conditions (primarily income and marital status) you can take a deduction on your tax return.

What are those certain conditions? Check with your tax advisor to be sure, but there are income limits involved, plus if you’re covered by a retirement plan at work you’re generally not eligible for the deduction.
