Is an IRA Right for You?

You may be able to save on your present taxes with an IRA by deducting your qualified contributions from your taxable income. All or part of IRA contributions from current income can be deducted for many Americans to help reduce taxes. The amount that can be deducted depends on factors such as, income, marital status and whether you’re an active participant in an employer sponsored plan as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.

An IRA may allow you to defer taxes until you retire when you may be in a lower tax bracket. It is best to consult your tax advisor to review that tax deduction status of an IRA. You’ll be able to save on taxes now, regardless of the amount. An IRA is a great was to save for a secure retirement.
