A Roth IRA is a versatile option for those seeking to save for retirement. It offers the potential for tax-deferred earnings and tax-free withdrawals. Any worker with reported income can contribute to a Roth IRA, provided their income is within the established contribution limits.
As indicated in an article by Investopedia on January 16, 202, one of the advantages of a Roth IRA is that there are no minimum distributions, and inherited accounts are not subject to taxes. Additionally, withdrawals can be made at any time without taxes or penalties. You can make periodic or one-time contributions, as long as they do not exceed the annual maximum amounts.
In 2023, the maximum Roth IRA contribution limit will increase by $500 to $6,500, or $7,500 for people over age 50. However, if your income is above a certain level, you may not be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA or may be limited in your contributions.
It is important to note that you must have an income below $153,000 per year to contribute to a Roth IRA, which is higher than the current limit of $144,000 per year. If you have a 401(k) plan, you can save up to $22,500 per year, and those over age 50 can save up to $30,000 per year, as per a report by MARCA on February 20, 2023.
Roth IRAs are a valuable tool for retirement savings and financial planning, providing flexibility and tax advantages for those looking to save for their golden years.
