Roth IRAs in Austin

A Roth IRA is an Individual Retirement Account that provides tax-free growth.

Let Schroen Investment help you shelter your retirement funds and grow your money tax free as you plan and prepare for your retirement. With a Roth IRA, you pay income tax and then make contributions with post-tax dollars. Your principal grows tax-free, and you pay no additional taxes on withdrawal.

The advantage of a Roth IRA over a regular IRA account is obvious. Either way you pay income tax up front. But with Roth, you're then done paying taxes; with a regular account you're just getting started.

The advantages of a Roth IRA

• Roth is simple: it requires no special reporting to the IRS.
• Roth is flexible: because you've taken care of your tax obligations up front you tend to face fewer restrictions later.
• Roth is advantageous if you think taxes will probably rise in the future, since you're paying now rather than later.
• Roth has an additional, somewhat confusing advantage that it lets you shelter more real money: the same dollar amount, but in post-tax, rather than pre-tax dollars.
