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.
