Contributions are pre-tax dollars (tax-deductible), but latter withdrawals for retirement are to be taxed. This is an excellent way to increase your tax-deferred savings. | If you expect to be in a higher tax-bracket later in life, a Roth IRA account might be more suitable. Roth IRA contributions are already taxed (not-tax-deductible), but earnings and qualified withdrawals are tax-free. |
