1st MS offers Traditional and Roth IRAs to help you save for retirement. An IRA allows you to contribute up to $5,000 annually (or $6,000 for members ages 50 or older) in a tax-deferred account.* Saving your earnings through an IRA helps make your retirement years much more manageable. Learn more about these two options below:

Traditional IRA

• Defer taxes until money is withdrawn (regardless of income or other pension plans)
• Withdraw money during retirement when you are in a lower tax bracket
• Withdrawals may be penalty free depending on reason for withdrawal
• Deduct some or all contributions to a Traditional IRA
• Contributions may be tax-deductible

Roth IRA

• Get taxed only once with all earnings tax free when you or your beneficiary withdraws funds
• You pay income tax on the money you earn, and then make your contribution into your Roth IRA
• Your principal grows tax free
• You pay no further taxes on withdrawal
• All contributions and earnings left in the Roth IRA for at least five years and withdrawn after age 59½ will not be taxed, no matter what your tax bracket or income level
• Unlike the Traditional IRA, mandatory distribution is not required at the age of 70 ½
