TRADITIONAL IRA
What Is a Traditional IRA?
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a personal tax-deferred savings plan for individuals saving money for retirement.
A traditional IRA can provide many advantages, including the tax-deferred compounding of investment earnings on your contributions.
Who Can Set Up a Traditional IRA?
You can set up and make contributions to a traditional IRA if:
1) You (or, if you file a joint return, your spouse) received taxable compensation during the year, and
2) You were not age 70 1/2 by the end of the year.
You can set up a traditional IRA whether or not you are covered by any other retirement plan. However, you may not be able to deduct all of your contributions if you or your spouse are covered by an employer retirement plan. If both you and your spouse have compensation and are under age 701/2, each of you can set up an IRA. You cannot both participate in the same IRA.
