What is an IRA?
An IRA is a personal tax-sheltered savings plan, usually set up by an individual to provide for his or her retirement. Contributions to IRAs can be tax-deductible and, in some cases, earnings grow tax-free depending on which type of IRA you choose.
If you have earned income or receive alimony, you can contribute to an IRA. Income from other sources such as investment or inheritance does not qualify. If you have a working or non-working spouse and you file a joint return, he or she can open a separate IRA and make contributions up to the allowable annual limit. There is no minimum age for opening an IRA.
You can open or contribute to an IRA for a given year up until the due date for that year’s tax return (usually April 15th).
There are two types of IRAs – traditional and Roth IRAs. The IRA that’s best for you may depend on your annual income and whether you’re seeking a tax deduction or tax-free earnings.

These accounts allow you to save for a child’s education expenses by investing up to $2,000 per year per child under age 18.
The amount you may contribute depends on your income as follows:
- Singles can contribute the full $2,000 if income is less than $95,000.
- Contributions for singles phase out as income reaches $110,000
- Income limits run from $190,000 to $220,000 for married couples filing jointly
Contributions can also be made by estates, trusts, businesses and other non-person entities without income limitations. However, contributions from all sources cannot exceed $2,000 per year per beneficiary.
Contributions aren’t tax deductible. However, earnings grow tax free, and you pay no taxes or penalties on money withdrawn to pay for qualified elementary, secondary or post-secondary education expenses including tuition, room and board and other fees before the beneficiary reaches age 30.
You can contribute to a Coverdell Education Savings Account for a given year up to the due date for that year’s tax return (usually April 15th). In the year in which the beneficiary turns 18, contributions must be made prior to his or her 18th birthday.
Contributions for beneficiaries over age 18 may be allowed for beneficiaries with special needs. These qualified individuals may also withdraw funds for qualified education expenses after age 30.
