TRADITIONAL IRA

Traditional IRA is offered through CUNA Brokerage Services, Inc.1, a broker/dealer focused on serving credit union members. CUNA Brokerage Services, Inc. is an affiliate of CUNA Mutual Group.


Traditional IRA

An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a tax-advantaged account you can use to save for retirement outside of an employer-sponsored plan.

The tax benefit of a Traditional IRA is your contributions are deductible each year you make them.2 It may be best for you if you expect to be in a lower tax bracket in retirement. 

For an IRA that instead defers tax advantages to your retirement, consider a Roth IRA.

How it works

  • Make contributions up to $6,000 ($7,000 if you’re over age 50)
  • Enjoy possible tax benefits by deducting your contributions2
  • Watch your savings grow tax-deferred
  • Make IRS penalty-free withdrawals after age 59½; they’ll be taxed as income at your then-current tax rate
  • Withdrawals taken before age 59½ are generally subject to an IRS penalty
  • Begin taking your required minimum distributions no later than April 1 following your 72 birthday.  You must take your first required minimum distribution upon turning age 72 (70 ½ if you turned 70 ½ before January 1, 2020)

How to qualify

  • Anyone with earned income can make contributions
  • Tax-deductibility is subject to income limitations if you already participate in an employer-sponsored plan
  • If your adjusted gross income is less than $140,000 if single, or $208,000 if married, consider a Roth IRA
