Traditional IRA

An individual retirement account with tax-deductible contributions and taxed withdrawals.

A traditional IRA lets you contribute pre-tax (often deductible) dollars that grow tax-deferred; you pay income tax when you withdraw in retirement.

It suits those who expect a lower tax rate in retirement than today. Required minimum distributions apply later in life.
