Frequently asked questions
What's the benefit of a Roth IRA?
Qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free, since contributions are made with after-tax dollars.
Are there income limits on Roth IRA contributions?
Yes — the IRS phases out eligibility to contribute directly above certain income thresholds, which change annually.
What's the annual contribution limit?
The IRS sets a combined traditional + Roth IRA limit each year, plus a catch-up amount for those 50 and older — check current limits before contributing.
