| Features | Traditional IRA | Roth IRA |
|---|---|---|
| Who can contribute? | You can contribute if you (or your spouse if filing jointly) have taxable compensation. Prior to January 1, 2020, you were unable to contribute if you were age 70½ or older. | You can contribute at any age if you (or your spouse if filing jointly) have taxable compensation and your modified adjusted gross income is below certain amounts (see and 2022 and 2023 limits). |
| Are contributions deductible? | You can deduct your contributions if you qualify. | Your contributions aren’t deductible. |
| How much can I contribute? |
The most you can contribute to all of your traditional and Roth IRAs is the smaller of:
|
|
| What is the deadline for contributions? | Your tax return filing deadline (not including extensions). For example, you can make 2022 IRA contributions until April 18, 2023. | |
| When can I withdraw money? | You can withdraw money anytime. | |
| Am I required to take minimum distributions? |
You must start taking distributions by April 1 following the year in which you turn age 72 (70 1/2 if you reach the age of 70 ½ before January 1, 2020) and by December 31 of later years. Any deductible contributions and earnings you withdraw or that are distributed from your traditional IRA are taxable. Also, if you are under age 59 ½ you may have to pay an additional 10% tax for early withdrawals unless you qualify for an exception. |
Not required if you are the original owner. None if it’s a qualified distribution (or a withdrawal that is a qualified distribution). Otherwise, part of the distribution or withdrawal may be taxable. If you are under age 59 ½, you may also have to pay an additional 10% tax for early withdrawals unless you qualify for an exception. |
