Three Hidden Benefits of the Roth IRA
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are designed to be used as savings vehicles for your retirement. As an added incentive to save, they often come with distinct tax advantages, such as deductions, deferrals, or tax-free withdrawals. There are also, in most cases, penalty taxes for removing your money from the account too early.

Roth IRA distributions of principal from a Roth IRA are tax-free; however, any earnings will be taxed at ordinary income rates and a 10% penalty tax will apply if withdrawn prior to age 59½ or within five years of the date the Roth IRA was established, whichever is longer.
IRA withdrawals will be taxed at ordinary income rates. Withdrawals prior to age 59½ may also be subject to a 10% penalty tax.
