ROTH IRA ACCOUNT GUIDE
Roth IRA - (pay taxes now, retirement is tax free)
A Roth IRA is an Individual Retirement Account to which you contribute after-tax dollars. While there are no current-year tax benefits, your contributions
and earnings can grow tax-free. There are no contribution age restrictions, nor do you have to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs).

TRADITIONAL IRA - (pay taxes at retirement)
A Traditional IRA is an Individual Retirement Account to which you can contribute to pre-tax or after-tax dollars. The money grows in the account tax-
deferred, but you will pay ordinary income tax on the withdrawals at retirement. A Traditional IRA is a good option for those who expect to be in the
same or lower tax bracket at retirement.
