Roth vs. the Traditional IRA… Compare the features.
Roth IRA
Roth IRAs can only receive non-deductible contributions... but when distribution (which is not required with a Roth IRA) begins at retirement (retirement age specified by IRS), it is TAX FREE! And there are other features:
- After five years, withdrawal of the principal and earned dividends is TAX FREE for those age 59 1/2 or older.
- Have a pension plan? It doesn't matter! Your Roth distributions will still be TAX FREE when made at retirement (retirement age specified by IRS).
- PLUS…Roth IRAs offer a variety of penalty-free withdrawal options BEFORE you reach age 59 1/2 (ask your tax advisor for specifics).
- NO SET-UP OR ANNUAL FEES!
Traditional IRA
Savings in this IRA are taxed as income. When distribution begins at retirement, your distributions are taxed at the retirement-level bracket (depending on your tax situation, see your tax advisor). Contributions may be tax-deductible, based on income and other factors (check with your tax advisor). Features include:
- Withdrawal of the principal and earned dividends can begin penalty-free for those age 59 1/2 or older
- Traditional IRA distributions are taxed at the retirement-level income bracket (depending on time of withdrawal and your tax bracket).
- Traditional IRAs can offer a tax deduction for qualified savers. Consult your tax advisor for specific details.
- ALL earned dividends are tax-deferred, regardless of income.
- NO SET-UP OR ANNUAL FEES!
SEP IRA
A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan provides business owners with a simplified method to contribute toward their employees' retirement as well as their own retirement savings. Features include:
- Contributions an employer can make to an employee's SEP IRA cannot exceed the lesser of: 25% of the employee's compensation, or $58,000, whichever is the lesser amount (for 2021)
- Contributions are tax-deductible, grow tax deferred, and are finally taxed as withdrawn from the account.
- NO SET-UP OR ANNUAL FEES!
