The Roth IRA

With a Stash Retire Roth IRA, you are contributing post-tax money. This means you’ve already paid taxes on the money you’re contributing.

The benefit here is that Roth IRAs grow tax-free and you won’t pay taxes on your money when you take it out at retirement.

The Traditional IRA

With a Stash Retire Traditional IRA, you are contributing pre-tax dollars. This means you have not yet paid taxes on the money you’re contributing.

This can make you eligible for tax deductions now, however, you will be taxed on the money when you take it out of your account during retirement.
