Maximize your IRA contributions to take advantage of tax benefits

With tax season approaching, now is a good time to review your traditional or Roth IRA contributions before you file your taxes. You can make your 2023 contributions until April 15, 2024, and you may lower your tax bill. The limits are $6,500 or $7,500 if you’re 50 or older.
