No setup, administration or annual maintenance fees are charged on Star One IRA Accounts.
Your contribution may be tax-deductible depending on your tax-filing status, taxable income, and your participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
Investments grow on a tax-deferred basis. Earnings are taxed only upon withdrawal. We offer Contributory, Rollover, Conduit, and Spousal plans. Untaxed Traditional IRA assets are now generally permitted to be rolled over into a qualified retirement plan (employer plan).
New legislation in 2020 brings flexibility in how you manage your Star One IRA:

Members who already turned age 70½ by the end of 2019 cannot delay their RMD and are required to withdraw by April 1 following the year participant turns 70½.

Members born on July 1, 1949 or later can take advantage of this new rule. |
