What is Roth IRA?

A Roth IRA is one type of Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) that provides tax-free growth. The major difference between Roth IRA and traditional IRA are:

  1. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax deductible.
  2. Direct contributions to a Roth IRA may be withdrawn tax free at any time with out penalty.

The contribution limit in 2010 for age 49 and below is $5,000, for age 50 and above is $6,000.
