An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a tax-advantaged account designed to help you save for retirement. There are two main types, Roth and Traditional, each with different advantages. With a Roth IRA, you make contributions with money you’ve already paid taxes on (after-tax) and your money may grow tax-free, with tax-free withdrawals in retirement, provided that certain conditions are met. In a Traditional IRA, you make contributions with money you may be able to deduct on your tax return and any earnings potentially grow tax-deferred until you withdraw them in retirement
