IRAs

There are different rules about eligibility requirements for setting up a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA. Likewise, there are different requirements about the amount you can contribute each year depending on your situation. There are also restrictions on the amount of contributions to a Traditional IRA you can deduct.

Both types of IRA have the following in common:

• Contributions can be made any time during the year. They can even be made the following year before the tax is due.
• Excess contributions are subject to an excise tax.

When you transfer funds from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, or from an employer sponsored retirement plan to an IRA without incurring tax, it is known as a "Rollover."  Rollover rules must be followed strictly in order to avoid taxation. For information about rollovers, click here
