Types of IRAs

Traditional IRA
A traditional IRA allows you to make annual contributions that may be tax deductible in the tax year they were made. You defer paying taxes on the earnings and deductible limit is $5,000 for the tax years 2009 and 2010. Also, an individual who attains age 50 before the close of the year may contribute an additional $ 1,000 "catch-up" contribution for that year.

Roth IRA
A Roth IRA is a non-deductible account that features tax-free withdrawals for certain distribution reasons after a five-year holding period. The interest that is earned on the account is also tax-free (subject to certain qualifications). Since Roth IRA contributions are non-deductible and taxed in the year they are earned, people you expect to be in a higher tax bracket when they retire may benefit more from a Roth than from a traditional IRA.
