Should I open a Roth IRA? A Traditional IRA? Or put a little money in both? These are questions many taxpayers ask.
Is it beneficial?
Generally, a Traditional IRA may be beneficial if you are eligible to make deductible contributions and expect your tax rate during retirement to be lower than it is today. On the other hand, a Roth IRA may be a wise choice if you expect your tax rate to be the same or higher during retirement.
The answer depends on each unique situation, and a Financial Advisor can help you choose an IRA that's right for you.
First Fidelity Bank offers an IRA to fit your specific goal. For more information, call us or stop by one of our convenient neighborhood locations. Contact your tax advisor for specific tax savings.
