Roth IRA PDF Print E-mail

 

If you'd rather pay taxes on your retirement income now rather than later, consider a Charleston Area FCU Roth IRA.
  • Accrue tax-free earnings if you meet certain conditions
  • Deposit money after taxes
  • Open a Roth IRA Certificate with a $1000 minimum deposit
  • Open a Roth IRA Savings Account with no minimum deposit
  • Withdraw the entire amount tax-free after five years if:
    • You are 59½ or older, or
    • You are a first-time home buyer, or
    • You are disabled, or
    • You are a beneficiary of the deceased owner 
What are the contribution limits?

For 2008, the maximum contribution limit has increased to $5000 and if you are over 50, you can contribute up to $6000.

 What are the tax advantages?

Earnings are tax-free if the account is open for five tax years and withdrawn for a qualified reason (age 59 1/2, disability, death, or a first-time home purchase*).

You are not required to start withdrawals at age 70 1/2.

*Lifetime limit for exemption on first time home purchase is $10,000.
