IRA Basics
What is an IRA?
Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are accounts specifically set up to use during retirement by offering significant tax advantages. And the sooner you start, the longer your money has to grow.
Why invest in an IRA?
In retirement you may need as much as 100% of your current after-tax income (take-home pay) minus any amount you are saving for retirement each year. This makes it all the more important to start saving sooner rather than later, and an IRA can help you get started.
What’s the difference between
Roth and Traditional IRA?
The 2 most common types of IRAs are Traditional and Roth. Which one you choose (or qualify for) depends on your age, income, and financial goals. Savings IRAs from Bank of America and Investment IRAs from Merrill Edge® are available in both Traditional and Roth.
