Advanta IRA Administration’s Monte Smith Talks Shop: Benefits of Self-Directed Roth IRAs
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) March 16, 2014 -- Roth IRAs are very attractive for investors but there are but there are strict eligibility and distribution rules that apply that one must be aware of when considering this type of investment account. Monte Smith of Advanta IRA Administration in Atlanta, Georgia, is an expert in all areas of self-directed savings plans, which includes Roth IRAs.
Only those within a certain income level are eligible to enjoy the benefits of having a Roth IRA, depending on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). For example, for the year 2014 you can contribute to a Roth IRA if you have taxable income and your modified adjusted gross income is less than:
• Married individuals filing jointly: $191,000
• Single or head of household: $129,000
• Married, filing separate returns: $10,000
Knowing the eligibility and income limits of Roth IRAs is crucial:
• Individuals of all ages who have an income can own a Roth IRA.
• Anyone with earned income that does not exceed the income limits listed above is eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA.
• As of 2010, the income limit for conversions is eliminated. So, if an individual wanted to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA that can be accomplished regardless of that person’s income.
“Self-directed Roth IRAs are popular tools investors use to control their own investments and common assets permissible within these accounts include real estate, private notes and mortgages, precious metals, stocks, bonds, foreign exchange trading and much more,” says Monte Smith, Education and Marketing Director for Advanta IRA Administration. “Roth IRAs offer the benefit of post-tax contributions, allowing earnings to accrue on a tax-free basis. Distributions of earnings may be taken on a tax-free basis if you are over the age of 59 ½ and have owned the account for at least 5 years.” Disabled person and first-time home buyers are also allowed tax-free distributions.
Self-directed IRA administrator Advanta IRA is offering an Atlanta-area seminar on March 19th and a lunch and learn event on March 21st at no cost to attendees to educate investors on the benefits of self-directed Roth IRAs.
The following topics will be covered in both of Advanta IRA Administration’s events:
