    Enjoy Tax-Deductible
    Deposits.

    With a traditional flexible rate IRA, your contributions (deposits) will be subtracted from your total gross income—directly lowering the taxes you owe (income limits may affect deductibility). And if you opt for a flexible rate Roth IRA, you’ll enjoy tax free withdrawals down the road.

    Contribute Funds at Any
    Time.

    Your IRA doesn’t have to be a ‘set and forget’ account. Additional deposits can be made at any time toward your full-year contribution limit, without incurring any fees or penalties.

    Why Do I Need an IRA?

    An IRA, or Individual Retirement Account, is a retirement savings account that features tax-saving advantages and allows you to invest in your future financial health. The sooner you open a retirement account, the more time your money has to grow.

    FAQs

    Get Answers to Our Most Frequently Asked Questions.

    Do I get penalized for taking money out of my IRA?

    Yes, if withdrawn before the age of 59 and a half, there will be a gross income plus ten percent tax penalty.

    How do I apply to open an IRA?

    To open an IRA through MCU, call us at 1-844-MCU-NYNY (1-844-628-6969) or visit your local branch. NYMCU Digital Banking does not allow members to open an IRA online at this time.

    At what point is the money in my account taxed?

    It depends on what kind of IRA you choose to open. The money in a Traditional IRA is taxed upon withdrawal, while contributions to a Roth IRA are taxed upfront, allowing for tax-free withdrawals in retirement.

    At what age can I withdraw money from my Flexible IRA?

    You can withdraw money from your Flexible IRA, but if you do so before reaching the age of 59 and a half, you will incur a penalty.

    Can I claim my IRA contributions on my taxes?

    Yes, you may be able to claim a deduction on your individual federal income tax return for the amount you contributed to your IRA.
