All About IRAs

At America First, we provide a diverse range of vehicles that can help you ensure your resources are there for you during all of life’s important stages.We also provide Individual Retirement Account (IRA) investment accounts through CUSO Financial Services, L.P. (CFS).

IRAs are certainly one of the most powerful tools available to you. Even if you’re contributing to a 401(k) or other plan at work, you should also consider investing in an IRA.

Traditional IRAs: The only requirements for opening and contributing to a traditional IRA are having taxable compensation or earned income through employment, and you have to be under age 70½. Deposits can have significant tax advantages if you quality. Annual distributions are required after the age listed above until the funds are exhausted.

Roth IRAs: You’ll also need taxable compensation or earned income to contribute to a Roth IRA. Your ability contribute in any year depends on your modified adjusted gross income and your tax-filing status. Contributions to a Roth are not tax-deductible but, if you meet certain conditions, your withdrawals will not be subject to federal income tax.
