Roth vs. Traditional IRA: Which Is Right For You?
Before you decide, you need to know the benefits of both plans. Contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax-deductible, depending on your income level and whether you have another retirement plan. And your earnings grow tax-deferred, until you start taking withdrawals. Your Roth IRA contributions are not tax-deductible, but earnings grow totally tax-free, provided you meet certain conditions.

If you can’t deduct contributions to a traditional IRA, you may want to choose the Roth IRA. But what if you can contribute to a Roth IRA but you’re still eligible to deduct contributions to a traditional IRA? It’s not a simple choice. You’ll have to weigh other features of the two IRAs.

But the good news is that either type of plan can help you boost your retirement savings. So, whether it’s traditional or Roth, give strong consideration to an IRA.

SEP IRA Offers Tax Benefits, High Limits And More

If you’re self-employed, and you don’t already have a SEP IRA, consider opening one. It can offer you some key benefits. To begin with, your contributions are tax deductible and your earnings grow tax deferred. And you can put fairly large sums into your SEP IRA.

A SEP IRA also is a good tool for small businesses to attract and retain good employees. You’ll help your employees build their retirement savings, and you have great flexibility in deciding how much to contribute to the plan each year. Also, you may be able to deduct company contributions as a business expense.

Your tax adviser can help determine if a SEP IRA is the right retirement plan for you. Give it some thought today.
