Contrast Traditional IRA to Roth IRA
Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible unlike the traditional IRA. Withdrawals are generally tax-free, but not always and not without certain rules and guidelines. We all know how quickly tax laws change from year to year. One of the good things about a Roth IRA compared to a traditional IRA is that there are fewer restrictions and requirements.
