Traditional IRA Account FAQs
What are the contribution income limits?
Consult the IRS website for information regarding your contributions.
When is the deadline to contribute to my Traditional IRA for a particular tax year?
You can contribute to a Traditional IRA account for a given tax year any time up until the tax filing deadline, typically April 15 of the following year. This provides flexibility to fund an account even after the calendar year ends.
How can I withdraw funds from my Traditional IRA?
You can withdraw funds from your Traditional IRA at any time. However, withdrawals are subject to federal and state income taxes, except for any contributions you previously deducted from your taxes. Additionally, you may face a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you withdraw funds before age 59 1⁄2 unless an exception applies, such as using up to $10,000 for a first home purchase.
