Traditional IRAs— Earnings in this account are normally tax-deferred until withdrawn after age 59 ½, although any withdrawal from a Traditional IRA is taxable at some point. Penalty-free withdrawals can be made for qualified reasons such as qualified education expenses, first-time home purchase, at age 59 ½, if you become disabled, etc.
Roth IRAs—Contributions are not deductible for the year in which they are made, however contributions can be withdrawn tax- and penalty-free at anytime. Also, the earnings in a Roth IRA account are not taxable provided the account has been open for five tax years and the withdrawal is for a qualified reason (i.e. after age 59 ½, first-time home purchase, owner becomes disabled, etc.).

Annual limitations for IRA contributions, modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) limits for IRA contribution deductibility and Roth IRA eligibility, and MAGI limits for those seeking an income tax credit for retirement saving contributions have slightly different indices than those used for determining Cost-of-Living Adjustments (COLA) for employer plans.
The IRS did not increase the Traditional/Roth IRA contribution limits for 2025. The IRA contribution limit for Traditional and Roth IRAs is $7,000 (plus $1,000 for catch-up contributions for 50 and older, which are not subject to COLAs). The 2025 COLAs are as follows:
Traditional IRA deduction MAGI ranges:
- Single active participant: $79,000-$89,000
- Married active participant filing a joint income tax return: $126,000-$146,000
- Married active participant filing a separate income tax return: $0-$10,000
- Spouse of an active participant: $236,000-$246,000
Roth IRA contribution MAGI ranges:
-
- Single individual: $150,000-$165,000
- Married individual filing a joint income tax return: $236,000-$246,000
- Married individual filing a separate income tax return: $0-$10,000
