A Traditional IRA can be a smart way to build retirement savings while potentially receiving tax benefits on eligible contributions. Your money can grow tax-deferred, meaning you generally don't pay taxes on earnings until you withdraw funds.

A Traditional IRA may be a good option if you're looking for potential tax benefits today or want to supplement savings in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k).

A Traditional IRA may be right for you if you:
  • Want the potential for tax-deductible contributions
  • Want your retirement savings to grow tax-deferred
  • Are looking for another way to save beyond an employer-sponsored retirement plan

A Roth IRA lets you contribute money that has already been taxed and potentially take qualified withdrawals tax-free in retirement. Because you pay taxes on contributions upfront, a Roth IRA can be an appealing option if you expect your tax situation to be different in retirement.

A Roth IRA may be right for you if you:
  • Want the potential for tax-free qualified withdrawals in retirement
  • Prefer to pay taxes on contributions today rather than during retirement
  • Want to supplement an employer-sponsored retirement plan

what's the difference?

Not sure which IRA is right for you? The biggest difference between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA is when you receive the potential tax benefit.

coverdell education savings account (esa)

Planning ahead for your child's education? A Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) can help you build savings for qualified education expenses while your child grows. Unlike a Traditional or Roth IRA, a Coverdell ESA is designed specifically for education savings.

With a Coverdell ESA from Skyla, you can set money aside for your child's future education expenses, from elementary and secondary school through higher education. Contributions aren't tax-deductible, but earnings can grow tax-free, and withdrawals may be tax-free when they're used for qualified education expenses.

back to basics:

what is an ira?

An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a retirement savings account that offers tax advantages to help you prepare for the future. Unlike a regular savings account, an IRA is specifically designed for long-term retirement savings and comes with rules around contributions, withdrawals and taxes.

IRAs can be a valuable way to supplement an employer-sponsored retirement plan or build retirement savings on your own.
