| Understanding Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) IRAs are personal retirement savings plans that have tax benefits, and long- term growth potential. IRAs are one of the best retirement savings vehicles available. You and your wife, if eligible, can each invest the amount you want, when you want, currently up to $4000 annually. And those age 50 or older may be eligible to make “catch-up” contributions of an additional $1000. Traditional Individual Retirement Annuity: A tax-deferred retirement annuity permits individuals within prescribed income limits to set aside up to $4,000 per year, with earnings tax-deferred until withdrawals begin at age 59- 1/2 or later (U.S. only). Roth Individual Retirement Annuity: Allows taxpayers, subject to certain income limits, to save for retirement while allowing the savings to grow tax-free. Taxes are paid on contributions, but withdrawals, subject to certain rules, are not taxed at all (U.S. only). Registered Retirement Savings Plan: Knights and their families in Canada can reap the benefits of tax-deferred contributions by opening a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. An RRSP permits contributions throughout the tax year, or within 60 days after the end of the year (Canada only). Opening annuities and/or tax-advantaged accounts is a simple process – and an excellent addition to your investment portfolio – by offering taxpayers significant advantages, as well as additional financial security for beneficiaries. |
