Why Choose an IRA?

With an IRA, you can enjoy tax advantages that can help you grow your savings over time, making it an ideal choice for long-term financial planning. Below are some reasons why an IRA is a smart choice:
Tax Benefit
IRAs offer tax-deferred growth (Traditional IRA) or tax-free withdrawals (Roth IRA), helping you maximize your savings

Security for the Future
IRAs are a critical component of a retirement savings plan, ensuring you have the funds needed for a comfortable retirement.

Types of IRAs
At Greater Iowa Credit Union, we offer several types of IRAs, each designed to meet different financial needs and goals. Whether you're looking for tax-deferred growth or tax-free withdrawals, we can help you find the best IRA account for you. Here’s a breakdown of the accounts we offer:
Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA is perfect for individuals who want to benefit from tax-deferred growth. Your contributions may be tax-deductible, reducing your taxable income for the year in which you contribute. Additionally, earnings in the account grow tax-deferred until you begin withdrawing them in retirement.
Benefits: Immediate tax deductions, tax-deferred growth, and more control over your investment choices.
Roth IRA
A Roth IRA allows you to enjoy tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals in retirement. Contributions to a Roth IRA are made with after-tax dollars, meaning you won't receive a tax deduction upfront. However, the real advantage is that your withdrawals in retirement are completely tax-free, making it ideal for long-term growth.
Benefits: Tax-free growth, tax-free withdrawals, and no required minimum distributions (RMDs).
Coverdell Educational Savings Account (ESA)
The Coverdell ESA is designed specifically for educational savings, offering tax-deferred growth and the ability to withdraw funds tax-free when used for qualified educational expenses. This can include expenses for primary, secondary, and postsecondary education.
Benefits: Tax-free withdrawals for educational expenses and the ability to save for a wide range of educational goals.
