What are the 3 types of IRA?
There are three types of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA): Traditional, Roth, and SEP.
Traditional IRAs are funded with pre-tax dollars, which reduces your current taxable income. The money in the account grows tax-deferred, meaning you don’t pay taxes on the earnings until you withdraw the money in retirement.
Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax dollars, so you don’t get a tax deduction for the contributions you make. However, the money in the account grows tax-free, and you can withdraw the money in retirement tax-free as well.
SEP IRAs are employer-sponsored retirement accounts for self-employed people and small business owners. The contribution limits are higher than for Traditional and Roth IRAs, but the rules for withdrawals are the same as for Traditional IRAs. Can I open a Roth IRA at my Bank? Yes, you can open a Roth IRA at your bank. In fact, many banks offer special promotions and incentives for customers who open Roth IRAs with them.
