Types of IRAs to get started with
Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA is an individual retirement account that allows potentially tax-deductible contributions and tax-deferred earnings, if any, that can help you save for your retirement.
Roth IRA
A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account to which you contribute after-tax dollars. While there are no deductions for contributions, your earnings, if any, are tax-deferred and may be tax-free upon withdrawal if certain conditions are met.
What’s the difference between a Traditional and Roth IRA?
Traditional and Roth IRAs both offer a way to save for retirement that give you tax advantages.
Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA is an individual retirement account where your contributions may be tax-deductible, and you pay taxes when you withdraw your money. Potential earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Traditional IRAs are subject to the IRS’ required minimum distribution, or RMD, rules. For individuals who have a Traditional IRA and turn 72 on or after January 1, 2023, RMDs must begin by April 1 of the year following the year you turn 73 and must be taken by December 31 of each year after the year you turn age 73.
Roth IRA
A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account where you contribute after-tax dollars, and you don’t have to pay federal tax on “qualified distributions,” including potential earnings, if certain criteria are met. Roth IRAs of original account owners are not subject to the IRS’ RMD rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
IRA stands for individual retirement account, which is distinct from a workplace retirement account, such as a 401(k).
An individual retirement account, or IRA, is a tax-advantaged way of saving for retirement. A company's 401(k) may not be enough to help you reach your financial milestones, so also contributing to an IRA can help bring you closer to your retirement goals. The two main types of IRAs are Traditional and Roth.
The IRS sets annual contribution limits for Roth IRAs and Traditional IRAs. For 2023, the annual maximum is $6,500 if you are under the age of 50, or $7,500 if you are 50 or above. Learn more.
Note that you may be able to contribute to both an IRA and your company’s 401(k) or other employer sponsored retirement account.
How much you need to retire depends on many factors including when you retire and your expected cost of living, so it’s often a good idea to work with a financial professional to help determine how much you may need. You can also use our helpful retirement calculator to estimate your future savings.
