Hudson, NH Resident Seeks Advice
A Roth IRA is a favorite retirement account for many reasons, particularly for the tax advantages that it offers as your money grows and when it is withdrawn. With a Roth IRA, your contributions to the account are after-tax money. This means you are paying taxes on this income up-front. However, as the money then grows in the Roth IRA these earnings are tax-free. You can begin making withdrawals when you reach 59 ½ years of age. These withdrawals are also tax-free. This means that the interest earned from your Roth IRA is not taxed, giving you maximum income in retirement when you may need it most.
