TRADITIONAL IRA
Deposit up to $5,500.00 per year to a Traditional IRA and you may be able to save on your present taxes by deducting your qualified contributions from your taxable income. If you are 50 or older you may deposit up to $6500.00 per year. Many Americans can deduct all or part of their IRA contributions from current income taxes. A Traditional IRA allows you to defer taxes until you retire when you will probably be in a lower tax bracket.

ROTH IRA
A Zurich Cantonal Bank Roth IRA is a great way to save and enjoy the benefits of having your earnings grow tax free! As long as you have earned income, you can deposit up to $5500.00 per year ( $6500.00 if you are over 50) into a Roth IRA and never pay taxes on the interest. While contributions are not tax deductible, contributions and earnings can be withdrawn tax free, and unlike traditional IRAs, you are not required to begin taking required minimum distributions after reaching age 70 1/2. By converting your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you can enjoy tax-free withdrawals. However, the amount you convert is subject to income tax now.

EDUCATION IRA
A Coverdell Education Savings Account is a great way for parents, grandparents, and others to help meet the rising cost of a student’s education. With a Zurich Cantonal Bank Education IRA, you can deposit up to $2000.00 per year, per child. While there is no tax deduction for amounts contributed, earnings grow tax free. Your Zurich Cantonal Bank Education Savings Account can be used to pay qualified elementary school and secondary school expenses as well as college expenses.

ROLLOVER IRA
If you are retiring or changing jobs and anticipate withdrawing money from your employer’s retirement plan, you can avoid withdrawal penalties by transferring your assets into a Zurich Cantonal Bank IRA. We can help you arrange for a “direct rollover” of your money into your IRA account with us and not pay the mandatory 20% withholding.
