- An individual is considering contributing $4,500 per year to either a traditional or a Roth IRA. Payments would begin in one year. If she uses the traditional IRA, her contributions would be fully deductible. She is 41-years old and is in a 29 percent tax bracket. On either IRA she can earn 8 percent. When she retires at age 65, she believes she will be in a 18 percent tax bracket. Which type of IRA should she choose if she invests not only the $4,500 per year, but any tax savings due to the deductibility of her contributions in a taxable investment earning a pretax rate of 8 percent? She will withdraw all her money upon retirement and may owe taxes then, depending on the type of IRA chosen.

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created the Roth IRA, which permits qualifying individuals to make after-tax retirement contributions of up to $2,000 annually. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible, but no taxes are paid on earnings generated from a Roth IRA. In contrast, contributions made to traditional IRAs are tax-deductible, but individuals will pay taxes on all future distributions. In short, investors using the Roth IRA make contributions that have already been taxed and have earnings that...
