IRA FAQs

Common questions about our IRA accounts.

What is an IRA?

An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a type of savings account that helps you set aside money for retirement with potential tax advantages. There are different types like Traditional and Roth IRAs, each with their own rules on contributions, taxes, and withdrawals. IRAs are a great way to grow your savings over time and plan for your financial future.

Who can open an IRA?

Anyone with earned income (and a Social Security number) can contribute to an IRA, subject to annual IRS limits and rules.

Can I roll over my 401(k) or another IRA?

Yes. We can help you roll over your existing retirement account without taxes or penalties if done correctly.  We’ll navigate you through this process with ease.

Is there a minimum to open an IRA?

Our IRAs can be opened with as little as $500.3

How does a Coverdell ESA differ from a 529 plan?

There are several differences, but the most noteworthy is how the funds can be used. Unlike many state-sponsored Section 529 plans, a Coverdell ESA can be used to pay for qualified elementary and secondary education expenses at most public, private, and parochial schools.
