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 2024 contributions until April 15, 2025, and you may lower your tax bill. If you are under 50, you can maximize your IRA contributions up to $7,000. If you are 50 and older, you can contribute up to $8,000.

By maxing out your IRA contributions before the April tax deadline, you can give your money more time to deliver tax-deferred, compounded growth. Over time, that can potentially add up. Contact us to discuss the possibility of maximizing your 2024 traditional and Roth IRA contributions before April 15, 2025.
