IRAs: Individual & Small Business

IRAs can be a powerful tool for small business owners and individuals to meet long-term financial goals.

Why IRAS?  Why now?

  1. They provide a powerful tool for retirement savings.
  2. Interest compounds year-over-year, making a significant difference in overall retirement savings.
  3. Depending on the IRA, clients can defer taxes on the money going in now or have tax-free withdrawal of the money coming out later if Roth rules are met.
  4. A tax-deductible IRA contribution lowers adjusted gross income (AGI), which is used to calculate certain itemized tax deductions and your client’s tax rate.
  5. Individuals can consolidate their qualified accounts into an IRA to protect their retirement with the option to continue contributing to their retirement.
