Understanding the Difference Between a Roth and Traditional IRA

Roth IRA

Tax Treatment: With a Roth IRA, you contribute after-tax dollars, so your withdrawals in retirement are generally tax-free. This means you won’t owe taxes on your earnings when you take them out.

Income Limits: Keep in mind that there are income limits for Roth IRA eligibility. High earners may find themselves ineligible to contribute directly to a Roth IRA, so it’s crucial to consider your income.

Age Restrictions: The Roth IRA has no age-based contribution restrictions. You can contribute as long as you have earned income, making it a flexible choice for savers of all ages.

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs): One unique feature of Roth IRAs is that they do not require RMDs during your lifetime. You can leave your money invested for as long as you wish.

Traditional IRA

Tax Treatment: With a Traditional IRA, your contributions may be tax-deductible, potentially reducing your taxable income for the year. However, you’ll owe income tax on your withdrawals in retirement.

Income Limits: There are no income limits for Traditional IRA eligibility. This makes it accessible to all income levels, although high earners may not be able to deduct their contributions.

Age Restrictions: You can contribute to a Traditional IRA until the age of 70½, regardless of your earned income. This provides a longer contribution window for some.

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs): Traditional IRAs require RMDs starting at age 72 (as of 2022). This ensures that you begin withdrawing and paying taxes on your savings during your retirement.

Both Roth and Traditional IRAs offer valuable tax-advantaged retirement savings options, but the choice depends on your individual circumstances and financial goals.
