Traditional IRA

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) from White Sands Federal Credit Union are a great way to plan for your future. Each situation is different, but with three great individual retirement accounts to choose from – Educational, Roth, SEP and Traditional – you have the freedom to decide what is best for you. Your retirement will come sooner than you think. Are you ready? You will be one step closer with Individual Retirement Accounts from White Sands Federal Credit Union.

Educational IRA (Coverdell Education Savings Account)

The Coverdell Education Savings Account was created to help parents save for qualified education expenses for a child. Withdrawals are tax and penalty free only for qualified educational expenses. Funds may be transferred from one child’s account to another child within the family.

  • Contributions are not tax deductible
  • Annual contribution limit is $2,000
  • Earnings are tax free if used for education expenses of the child
  • Child is “designated beneficiary”
  • Account must be established before child is 18
  • Account is in the name and SS# of child
  • Funds in the account are controlled by the “responsible individual”

Roth IRA

Roth Individual REtirement Accounts feature tax-free withdrawals for certain distribution reasons after a five-year holding period. Since Roth IRA contributions are non-deductible and taxed in the year they are earned, members who expect to be in a higher tax bracket when they retire may benefit more from a Roth IRA than from a traditional IRA. Unlike the Traditional IRA, there is no requirement to begin taking distributions at age 70 ½.

  • Enjoy tax-deferred growth and tax-free withdrawals; contributions are made with after-tax dollars.
  • Avoid early distribution penalties on certain withdrawals.
  • Avoid taking required minimum distributions.
