You have several options, including some free ones that can get you going in the right direction so that you can avoid costly mistakes.
  • First, look for help on the IRS website. The IRS site offers comprehensive rules on distributions from IRAs, and it’s a good first resource to consult. 
  • Your next move is to contact your IRA custodian. They can help explain your options and help you determine what might be best for your individual situation. 
While a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plans can be considered the backbone of your retirement savings, there's a good case for having an IRA as well.
  1. An IRA—either a traditional or Roth—often offers greater investment choice and flexibility.1,2
  2. Working together, a 401(k) and an IRA can help you maximize both your savings and your tax advantages.1,2
1.    IRAs are an additional opportunity to save outside of a 401(k) to secure your future.1,2
2.    Since people in their 20s and 30s tend to make less than they do later in life, they’re ideally suited for Roth IRAs. A Roth account is funded with after-tax dollars, making future withdrawals tax-free. Roth investments are unique in that contributions are taxed upfront. This offers the advantage that what’s left may grow exponentially with compound interest over time, and you won’t have to worry about taxes on the back end.1,2
3.    There are income limits for a Roth IRA, making it more likely that younger workers are eligible to contribute.1.2
