IRA Accounts

A Traditional IRA is an easy way to save for your future.

When other retirement or financial resources fall short, a Traditional IRA can be a valuable retirement savings tool. With so many incentives for placing your money in an IRA, including multiple tax advantages, a Traditional IRA may be just the right savings vehicle for you.

As long as you are under 70 ½ and earning income from personal services rendered, you can establish and contribute to a Traditional IRA.

Contributing to a Traditional IRA

You can deposit as little or as much as you want into your IRA each year, up to the limit set by law. The limit is the lesser of:

  • The annual contribution limit* ($5,000 for 2011), plus a $1,000 catch-up contribution if you are age 50 or older.
  • 100% of your earned income.
