For individual retirement accounts
Contributing to an IRA can help kick-start retirement savings or boost existing retirement savings strategies while taking advantage of its tax benefits. To support savings efforts, use the IRS’ direct deposit program to invest tax refunds.
While income eligibility requirements are generally needed when contributing to a traditional or Roth IRA, no income requirements are needed if no tax deduction is taken in a traditional IRA. This is referred to as a nondeductible IRA. Learn more about how these plans compare and speak with your financial or tax professional to determine the solution most suitable for your situation.
