Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Traditional and Roth IRA?

Traditional IRA contributions are tax-deductible, growth is tax-deferred, and withdrawals are taxed as income. Roth IRA contributions are after-tax, growth is tax-free, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free.

What are the 2024 IRA contribution limits?

For 2024, the limit is $7,000 ($8,000 if age 50+). Income limits apply to Roth IRA eligibility and Traditional IRA deductibility. Catch-up contributions are available for those 50 and older.

When can I withdraw from an IRA penalty-free?

Traditional IRA withdrawals before age 59½ generally incur a 10% penalty plus income tax, with exceptions for certain situations. Roth IRA contributions can be withdrawn anytime penalty-free.

What is required minimum distribution (RMD)?

RMDs are required from Traditional IRAs starting at age 73 (75 for those born after 1959). Roth IRAs have no RMDs during the owner's lifetime. Failure to take RMDs results in a 25% penalty.
