Open a Roth IRA and Enjoy Tax-Free Distributions
With a Roth IRA, contributions are not tax-deductible, but all distributions from the IRA are tax-free. In fact, with a Roth IRA, you can take qualified tax-free distributions as soon as five years after your first contribution. Qualified distributions include those:
- For first-time home buyer expenses, up to $10,000
- After reaching age 59 ½
- In the event of death or disability

Stay on Track for Retirement with Roth IRA Benefits
Open a Roth IRA with Wescom and take advantage of after-tax benefits as you save for retirement.
- With the Roth IRA, you do not have to take a minimum distribution when you reach age 73.
- Singles earning less than $153,000 per year, or couples filing jointly earning less than $242,000 annually, can contribute up to $7,500 per year (including contributions to other IRAs); those contributions may phase out at higher income levels.
To enable older participants to “catch-up” with their retirement savings, individuals age 50 and older can contribute an additional $1,100 for a total of $8,600 per year.
Is a Roth IRA Right For You?
