You might also save on your present taxes with an Individual Retirement Account by deducting your qualified contributions from your taxable income. Many Americans can deduct all or part of their IRA contributions from income taxes. The deductible depends on your income, marital status, and whether you’re an active participant in an employer-sponsored plan as defined by the Internal Revenue Service.
With an Individual Retirement Account, you may also be able to defer taxes until you retire, when you will probably be in a lower tax bracket. The chart below shows you how much you may be able to save each year. You may want to consult your tax advisor to review the tax-deductible status of an IRA. Regardless of the amount you’ll be able to save now on taxes, an IRA is a smart way to save for a secure retirement.

If you’re changing employers, an IRA rollover makes sense. Suppose you are retiring or changing jobs and anticipate withdrawing money from your employer’s retirement plan. You can avoid withdrawal penalties by transferring your assets into an IRA or another qualified plan. You can ask your employer to arrange for a “direct rollover” of your money into a new IRA account with us, or you can do it yourself with an IRA-to-IRA rollover.
You must complete the rollover within 60 days of receiving the assets from your old IRA to qualify and not pay the mandatory 20% withholding and possibly other penalties. For more information about IRA Rollovers or opening a new IRA, call State Bank at 1-866-348-4674.
