Traditional IRA (Individual Retirement Account)

The guidelines below are standard for all IRAs, regardless of financial insitution. 
For tax deduction information, please consult a tax advisor. 

Standard IRA Guidelines

- Compensated individuals may contribute until age 70 1/2, when annual distributions become  mandatory.                                                                                                                                                                                     

- Maximum contribution amount = $5,000 per year.

- Individuals over 50 years of age may contribute an additional $1,000.

- Contributions for any given calendar year may be made up to April 15th of the following year. Most contributions may deduct the amount of their contributions (designated for that calendar year) from the taxable income on their 1040 income tax form.

- Funds from a Qualified Retirement Plan may be transferred, without penalty, to an IRA. Which means you can roll over/transfer your IRA dollars from a qualified plan into an ICCU IRA without penalty.

- Earnings are tax-deferred until distribution, at which time distributed amounts must be claimed as income at tax time.

- Penalty-free distributions may be requested beginning at age 59 1/2.

- Participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans may still contribute to an IRA.  Consult a tax advisor for deductability information.
