Traditional IRA

This is a popular choice to consolidate old 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and other retirement accounts so you get one view of your retirement savings while staying in a tax-deferred account.

Why choose a Traditional IRA?

Tax-deferred savings

Your rolled-over savings may continue to grow tax-deferred. You generally won’t pay taxes on contributions or investment gains until you begin withdrawals in retirement.

Potential tax deductions

Contributions may be made with pre-tax dollars, which may lower your taxable income and could potentially reduce your tax bill for the current year.

Flexible access

After age 59½, withdrawals are generally not subject to early withdrawal penalties and can be penalty-free, though distributions are taxed as ordinary income.

Images are hypothetical. Assuming your current age is 35 years, projections assume a retirement age of 65, an illustrative 7% annual return minus a 0.85% annual fee (6.15% net return). Projections are hypothetical and do not account for inflation.

Tax-Deferred Savings

Your investments grow tax-deferred, and withdrawals in retirement are taxed as ordinary income. This is valuable for those looking to lower their tax bill today while anticipating a lower rate later.

Considerations:

Yellow tick

Future Tax Hikes:

Those who expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement should plan carefully, as every dollar withdrawn will be taxed at those future rates.

Yellow tick

RMD Requirements:

Traditional IRAs generally require you to start taking Required Minimum Distributions, or withdrawals, at age 73 (or 75 if you were born in 1960 or later).

Yellow tick

Deductibility Limits:

If you or your spouse are covered by a retirement plan at work, your ability to deduct contributions phases out based on your income.
