SINCE its creation more than a decade ago, the Roth Individual Retirement Account has been among the best tax breaks available. You get tax-free withdrawals of your investment and earnings after your taxed dollars have been contributed, and once the five-year and age 59 1/2 (or death, disability, or first time homebuyer) requirements are met. And now, you have a unique opportunity to keep more of your eligible retirement assets protected from any increase in federal and state taxes, by moving those monies into a Roth IRA, while taxes are still relatively low. The planning you do now can have major long-term impact for you and your family.
It looked like a slam-dunk for investors: Convert your traditional individual retirement account to a Roth IRA, which has tax-free withdrawals, and preserve more of your investment. But Wisconsin hasn't adopted the new federal tax rules that allow investors at any income level to make the conversion without penalty. Most, if not all, other states have done so. Wisconsin should, too. Under the new rules that take effect Jan. 1, investors at all income levels will be allowed to convert a traditional IRA into a Roth. In the past, only investors who earned less than $100,000 a year could do so. But amid Wisconsin's messy budget battle this year, Wisconsin failed to pass legislation conforming with those federal rules, the Journal Sentinel's Kathleen Gallagher reports. That means investors w...
The new Roth individual retirement account (IRA) allows tax free withdrawals, has higher income limits and does not limit participation in employer plans. It excludes deductible IRA provisions such as the upfront deduction, minimum distribution age requirement, phased-out contributions, and the 15% excise tax for large contributions. Roth IRAs are better than deductible IRAs regardless of tax rate and time frame. Conversion to Roth IRAs is recommended for those without state income tax problems and those who do not expect significant decrease in tax rate upon retirement.

Last week I reviewed the traps and missteps of managing an Individual Retirement Account. Some of those rules do not apply to Roth IRAs, which differ by: Required withdrawals: Unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs do not require minimum distributions once the owner reaches age 70 1/2. This makes them appropriate for owners interested in passing on more to beneficiaries.

I retired early and my only income has been withdrawals from my Individual Retirement Account, or IRA. I plan to apply for this year. Will my IRA income reduce my benefits?

Here's How it Works: Understanding Your Retirement Plan Options - 401(k): A retirement plan offered to you by your employer. You decide, by percentage, how much you want to contribute by payroll deduction, and your employer puts the money into an individual account for you. Your company serves as the plan sponsor for your 401(k), while another company is hired to administer the plan and its investments. Typically, a 401(k) offers five or more mutual funds that invest in various sectors of the financial markets. Some 401(k) plans also offer shares of your employer's stock. - Roth 401(k): The opposite of a traditional 401(k) -- you pay the taxes on your contributions, but not your withdrawals. While you have to fund it with after-tax dollars, the money grows tax free, and you won't have ...
