Advanta IRA Services Presents Nationwide Webinar for Investors Considering Roth IRAs
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) April 09, 2014 -- Roth IRAs are offer a way for investors to hedge their bets in the thought that today’s taxation rate is lower than it will be in years to come. All contributions to Roth IRAs are made after tax and therefore not taxed upon distribution. Tax-deferred plans (such as traditional IRAs) tax contributions when distributions are made at retirement age.
Benefits of Roth IRAs include:
- Contributions can be made after the age of 70 ½
- No required minimum distributions at the age of 70 ½
- Contributions may be withdrawn at any age with no tax liability in most cases
- At the age of 59 ½ years, if the Roth has been funded for at least five years, tax-free withdrawals can be taken of both contributions and earnings
- Roth IRAs can be self-directed allowing account owners to control the choices of the investments the account acquires
"Roth IRAs are popular and flexible tools for building wealth toward retirement," says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Services. "Self-directed Roth IRAs give owners control over investment decisions and allow plenty of alternative investments to choose from." Investors are able to plan for retirement and are also able to withdraw funds without dire tax penalties. However, while Roth IRAs are less restrictive in terms of withdrawals, there are also some reasons why these accounts many not be the best idea for some investors.
This webinar specifically addresses questions about why someone would convert to a Roth IRA, how the process works, and most importantly—when the conversion should be done.
Additional topics include:
- The process of converting assets held within a tax-deferred IRA into a tax-free Roth IRA
- Rules for converting to a Roth IRA
- Conversion of assets in a self-directed IRA (such as real estate and mortgage notes) and the documentation needed to do so
"Investors of all ages should consider attending this webinar in an effort to gain knowledge about whether or not a Roth IRA presents a viable investment tool to add to their retirement portfolios," says Callahan Participants will be able to ask questions during the webinar.
