It is important to understand the fundamental differences between the ROTH IRA and Traditional IRA. The major difference is the time in which the IRA account owner pays taxes.
Pre-Tax Dollars -> Traditional IRA
After Tax Dollars -> Roth IRA
Another factor to consider in choosing your IRA account are tax brackets. More specifically, do you expect to be in a higher tax bracket or a lower tax bracket in retirement?
Lower Tax Bracket Expectation --> Traditional IRA
Higher Tax Bracket Expectation --> Roth IRA
Please note that it is also best practice to consult a tax professional or a financial advisor to fully understand which account type is best for you based on your financial situation.

Education is a key to unlocking amazing potential, but it often comes with a real financial cost. We want to help you save money for your beneficiaries to get the education they deserve. A CESA is a trust or custodial account set up solely for paying qualified education expenses for the designated beneficiary (under the age of 18) of the account.
A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan allows employers to contribute to Traditional IRAs set up for employees. A business of any size, even self-employed, can establish a SEP.
For employers, we can help you set up an SEP for your employees.
For employees, see if your employer offers retirement benefits as they are a great way to increase the amount of savings you can put away for retirement.
