Savings or Certificate
A Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a savings plan developed by the Federal Government to help people supplement their retirement income. Anyone who meets the income qualifications can make regular contributions to a Roth IRA.
Unlike traditional IRAs, contributions to Roth IRA are never tax-deductible. However, all withdrawals after age 59 ½ are tax-free, so long as the Roth has been open for five years. A member can also withdraw everything except the account’s investment earnings, before age 59 1⁄2, and avoid all taxes and penalties.
The dividends compound and pay monthly and are computed using the daily balance method on IRA savings and certificates.
- IRA owner must earn compensation during the year for which the contribution is being made, or he/she must file a joint federal income tax return with a spouse who earns compensation during the year (spousal contribution). Spouse can have an IRA even if they did not earn compensation.
- You can continue to contribute as long as you earn qualifying compensation. You are not required to stop contributing at any age.
- Owners age 50 or older can make catch-up contributions to a Roth IRA. Allows those savers who started late to build balances quicker.
- You can withdraw most contributions without paying income tax at any time. The dollars you deposited are considered to come from your already-taxed contributions first.
- Choice of either savings or certificate IRA. Select which meets their individual needs.
- IRA savings can be opened with $10. Allows member to start an IRA and build towards a certificate IRA.
