Retirement Savings Accounts
Are you doing enough to save so you can live the way you want to in your retirement? DeWitt Bank & Trust Co. offers a variety of retirement accounts to allow you to start saving to live how you want when your working days are over.
Traditional IRA
This IRA is designed for individuals, couples, and families who want to save tax-deferred dollars and who want their annual contributions to be tax-deductible. However, withdrawals may be made at any time for college expenses or the purchase of a first home.
ROTH IRA
Although contributions to this IRA are not tax-deductible, withdrawals from the account (after a five-year minimum) are tax-free! Funds can be withdrawn before the five-year minimum for college expenses or the purchase of a first home, but ordinary income taxes will be paid on the earnings.
Coverdell Education Savings Account (formerly known as Education IRA)
This savings account is specifically designed to provide a tax-free way to save for education expenses for any minor child, including grandchildren, until the age of 18 on a non-deductible basis. This account can be used to pay for elementary and secondary education (K – 12) expenses incurred in a public, private or religious school, as well as college, technical or postgraduate work.
Earnings grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified education expenses are also tax-free.
*Traditional IRA, Roth IRA and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts do carry tax implications. Please consult a tax advisor.
