Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
IRAs - popular ways to save for retirement
or education
We offer competitive IRA products to help you start saving for your
retirement or education expenses. With as little as $1,000, you can open
an IRA, make an unlimited number of deposits, and grow tax-free money
to begin building a financially secure retirement.
The Traditional IRA allows anyone under age 70 1/2, and with earned
income, to set aside money for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. Contributions
may be tax-deductible, depending on your income and whether or not you
participate in a retirement plan at work.
Benefits of our Traditional IRA
include:
- $1,000 minimum deposit
- Make additional deposits anytime
- Earnings grow tax-free
- Contributions can be made before age 70 1/2
- Contribute $4,000 per year ($5,000 if you are age
50 and over), or 100 percent of your earned income, whichever is less
- Withdrawals may be made after age 59 1/2
The Roth IRA offers benefits that may make it an excellent retirement
savings vehicle for some investors, allowing anyone with earned income,
within certain income limits, to contribute. Contributions are not tax-deductible,
but qualified withdrawals of contributions and earnings are made tax-free.
Benefits of our Roth IRA include:
- $1,000 minimum deposit
- Make additional deposits anytime
- Make contributions at any age
- Contribute up to $4,000 per year ($5,000 if you
are age 50 and over), or 100 percent of your earned income, whichever
is less
- Qualified distributions are tax-free
- No required minimum distribution
Benefits of our Coverdell IRA
include:
- $1,000 minimum deposit
- Earnings grow tax-free, provided money is used
for qualified educational expenses
- Contribute up to $2,000 per year for each child
- Transfer unused funds to a family member with no
penalty
- Tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses, including
tuition, fees, books, supplies, and more
Coverdell IRAs, previously called Education IRAs, are
trusts created solely to pay the qualified education expenses of the
student designated as the beneficiary of the trust. The tax treatment
of Coverdell accounts is similar to that of Roth IRAs.
