Converting your IRA may have significant tax consequences. Before you take this step, be sure to consult with a tax professional.
If you are retiring or changing jobs, ask your employer to arrange for a "direct rollover" of your money into a new IRA account with us, and you won’t pay the mandatory 20% withholding tax.
You can also do an IRA-to-IRA rollover. Complete the rollover within 60 days from the date you receive the assets from your old IRA to qualify. Just go to your financial institution and close your IRA, then bring the check to us. The IRS limits the number of these rollovers to one in a 12-month period.
Contributions into a traditional IRA can be tax deductible and can lower your taxable income. Your earnings also grow tax deferred. However, contributions are not tax-deductible with a Roth IRA. For more information, consult your tax advisor and visit personal IRAs comparison page.
A Bank IRA is when you put your funds into a savings or CD account. A Brokerage IRA is when you put your funds into an investment such as mutual funds, stocks, and bonds. To learn more, contact a Financial Advisor to find out what products may fit your needs.
