Saving for your future!
IRA stands for "Individual Retirement Account", and Baylands FCU offers three types of these tax-advantaged savings-accounts. Here are the types of IRA's we offer:
- Contributions to this type of IRA may be tax deductible in the year the contributions are made, and taxes due on the earned interest are deferred until the funds are withdrawn.
- Deductibility for tax purposes depends on active participation in a qualified retirement plan and/or taxable income.
- Deposits can be made up to April 15th for the previous year.
- IRA certificates are available.
- Contributions are post-tax, and growth may be tax-free.
- Since withdrawals are not reportable income, they won't affect your adjusted gross income during retirement.
- Contributions can be made after age 70 1/2, and no withdrawals are required during the account holder's life.
- Withdrawals from a Roth IRA are tax and penalty-free as long as the account has been open for at least five tax years and you are either over 59 1/2, disabled or buying a first home.
- Contributions are not allowed if you have earned income greater than $110,000(single) $220,000(married)
