"The Value of a Roth IRA"
IntroductionIndividual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are long-term, tax-sheltered time deposits that provide a way for Americans to save tax dollars when they save for retirement. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 added the Roth IRA, a "back-loaded" IRA, which has many features that investors want. Young people, who may be in a lower tax bracket now than when they're older, find the Roth especially attractive since the taxes they pay on contributions are lower than the taxes they would have paid on withdrawals later.
