IRA Certificates allow you to save for your retirement or a child’s future higher education expenses, with tax benefits. Skyward Credit Union offers competitive rates on IRA shares or fixed-term/fixed-rate certificates which allows you to have great earnings potential. We offer the following IRA accounts.
- Traditional IRA – Before tax dollars are invested allowing you to defer taxes on your earnings until you are ready to withdraw. To establish a Traditional IRA, you must have earned income (or your spouse has earned income) and be younger than 70 ½ years old for the tax year.
- ROTH IRA – Contributions are made with after-tax dollars. The contributions are non-deductible and taxed as income the year they are earned. After you have met a five-year holding period, you may be eligible to make tax-free withdrawals based on the distribution purpose. Tax-free distribution purposes may include:
- After age 59 ½
