An IRA (Individual Retirement Account), will help you choose the plan that is right for you. Skyline Financial Federal Credit Union can help you make the most of your investment opportunities. Depending on your choice, you may be able to take a tax deduction for a Traditional IRA contribution, or withdraw the earnings on a Roth IRA tax-free.
Traditional and Roth IRAs both allow you to grow your money while receiving tax benefits. However, there are some distinct differences. The chart below provides a useful, comparative reference. As with all tax decisions, it is recommended that you consult a tax professional to determine which product is right for your goals.
