An individual retirement arrangement (IRA) is a personal savings plan that offers specific tax benefits while helping you achieve your retirement goals. IRAs are one of the most powerful retirement savings tools available to you. Even if you're contributing to a 401(k) or other plan at work, you should also consider investing in an IRA.
You should understand the differences between a Roth IRA and a Traditional IRA before choosing the type of IRA that's best for you. Roth IRA contributions are not tax-deductible, but distributions (including earnings) can be tax-free at retirement if certain circumstances exist.*
