  • Retirement Accounts for Individuals
    • Traditional IRA
      The Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) provides certain tax advantages to encourage you to save for retirement. Your earnings grow tax-deferred until you withdraw them. In many cases, your IRA contributions may also be tax-deductible. However, you must start withdrawing your money at age 70½; this is called your Required Minimum Distribution or RMD.

You simply roll your 401(k) into this type of IRA account. Your money will continue to grow with the same tax-deferred advantages you previously enjoyed.
