The Roth IRA Explained
The Roth IRA, created by Senator William Roth, is a retirement account where contributions are made with after-tax dollars, allowing for tax-free growth thereafter. Unlike traditional IRAs, where taxes are deferred until withdrawal, the Roth IRA provides tax exemptions on growth and withdrawals in retirement. This particular account became available in 1998 and later inspired the establishment of the Roth 401(k) in 2006. There are important distinctions between these accounts, as they cater to different needs based on income levels and tax preferences.
