Seeking Retirement

Roth

A Roth account is a type of individual retirement account (IRA) that is funded with after-tax dollars. This means that the money you contribute to a Roth account has already been taxed and you will not receive a tax deduction for your contributions. However, the money you contribute to a Roth account grows tax-free and you can withdraw your contributions and any earnings on them tax-free in retirement.
