Traditional IRAs

A Traditional Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) is a retirement savings account that defers the taxes on the growth of your account value until you withdraw the funds. In addition, your contributions may be tax deductible, but consult with a tax advisor for details about your specific situation.


You can contribute:

  • if you are under age 70½,
  • if you have earned income from employment,
  • up to a maximum of $5,000 per year and
  • make catch-up contributions if you are age 50 or older, up to $1,000 per year. (If eligible, your spouse may be able to contribute the amounts listed above to his or her Traditional IRA as well.)


How do I get started?

Income restrictions apply to Roth IRA plans. Your Catholic United Sales Representative can explain the requirements of Roth IRAs to you.
