Traditional IRA

• To open, a depositor must be under age 70½ and earn compensation.
• Annual contribution up to $5,500 or 100% of earned income, whichever is less. Contribution must be coordinated with Roth IRA contributions to ensure limit is not exceeded.
• Individuals 50 years of age and above may make additional contributions of $1,000 per year.
• Contributions may be tax-deductible, depending upon the depositor’s income and participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
• Earnings are tax-deferred until withdrawn; then, the entire distribution – earnings and contributions – is taxable.
• Distributions before age 59½ are subject to IRS 10% premature distribution penalty, unless the IRA owner dies or becomes disabled, or the funds are used for one of the following purposes: a qualified first home purchase; higher education; eligible medical expenses exceeding 7.5% of adjusted gross income; or eligible medical insurance premiums by qualified unemployed individuals. Funds used for these purposes are taxable.
• Distributions must begin by age 70½ to avoid IRS penalties.
