Roth IRA Accounts
No setup, administration or annual maintenance fees are charged on Star One IRA Accounts.
Roth IRA Accounts may offer greater tax savings and withdrawal flexibility than a Traditional IRA. Both Contributory and Conversion plans are available.
While Roth IRA contributions are not tax-deductible, contributions and earnings can be withdrawn tax-free on qualified distributions.
Roth IRA Accounts have no mandatory annual distribution requirements and you can contribute beyond age 70½. Eligibility depends on income.
