This is a quick overview of the IRA Rules for 2006 and 2007. Contact us for additional information and assistance.

*IRS Pub 590

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created a variety of new IRA options.  Not only did it change rules for the traditional IRA, but it also introduced the Roth and Education IRAs. These options were improved by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.

Traditional IRAs are more attractive than ever because expanded income limits mean more people will be able to make tax-deductible contributions. In addition, penalty-free withdrawals are allowed for qualified higher-education expenses and for a first-time home purchase.

Contributions to the Roth IRA or Education IRA (now known as the Coverdell Education Savings Account) are not tax-deductible, but the accounts offer the opportunity for tax-free earnings.
