Tax Magic: Transforming Taxable Income into Tax-Free Wealth
Summary:
Transforming taxable income into tax-free wealth is possible, without the worry of triggering an IRS audit. Here's how you can utilize the IRA for your benefit.
Discovering the Magic of IRAs
For over 30 years, the Individual Retirement Account (IRA) has been a key element in the tax code, yet many remain unaware of its full potential. Before you dismiss it as old news, let’s explore three benefits of IRAs that you might not know.
BENEFIT
1: Permanent Tax Avoidance with Roth IRAs
Did you know there are two types of IRAs? The Traditional IRA, established in the 1970s, allows tax-deductible contributions and tax-sheltered growth. However, withdrawals are taxable.
Enter the Roth IRA. Though contributions are made with after-tax dollars, both growth and withdrawals are tax-free. Consider investing $2,000 annually for 20 years in a Roth IRA; it grows to $126,005 at a 10% annual return. Assuming your account has existed for five years and you’re over 59, you can withdraw the entire amount tax-free. That means a potential tax savings of over $15,000 considering federal and state taxes.
BENEFIT
2: Extra Time to Fund Your IRA
You have until April 15 of the year following the contribution year to fund your IRA. For example, contributions for 2005 could be made until April 15, 2006. If you haven’t contributed the maximum by the end of December, you still have time.
BENEFIT
3: Increased Contribution Limits
The contribution limit has increased to $4,000, and for those over 49, it’s $4,500. Couples over 50 can contribute up to $9,000 annually. Be aware, however, that income limits apply for full contributions: $150,000 combined for married couples, $95,000 for singles or heads of household.
Making It Work for You
