About IRA Financial:

IRA Financial Group was founded by Adam Bergman, a former tax and ERISA attorney who worked at some of the largest law firms. During his years of practice, he noticed that many of his clients were not even aware that they can use an IRA or 401(k) plan to make alternative asset investments, such as real estate. He created IRA Financial to help educate retirement account holders about the benefits of self-directed retirement plan solutions.

As the end of the year approaches, many people are thinking about their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). If you’re one of them, it’s important to keep in mind some last-minute tips to make sure you’re making the most of your IRA for 2022.

1. Maximize your contribution

The maximum contribution for an IRA in 2022 is $6,000, with an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution for individuals over 50 years old. If you haven’t contributed your maximum amount for the year, now is the time to do so before the year ends. By contributing the maximum amount, you can maximize your tax savings and save for your future.

2. Consider a Roth IRA

If you haven’t already, consider opening or contributing to a Roth IRA in addition to a traditional IRA. The main difference between a Roth IRA and a traditional IRA is how they’re taxed. Contributions to a traditional IRA are tax-deductible upfront, but distributions are taxed as income upon withdrawal. Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but withdrawals are tax-free in retirement. Depending on your income and tax situation, a Roth IRA could be a valuable addition to your retirement portfolio.

3. Review your investments

It’s important to regularly review your IRA investments to ensure they align with your long-term goals and risk tolerance. Consider rebalancing your portfolio to reduce risk or take advantage of growth opportunities. If you’re uncertain about your investments, consider speaking with a financial advisor to help you make informed decisions.

4. Explore tax credits

If you’re a low- to moderate-income earner, you may be eligible for the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit, also known as the Saver’s Credit. This credit can be up to 50% of the first $2,000 you contribute to your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement account. This credit can help lower your tax bill while boosting your retirement savings.

5. Don’t forget about Required Minimum Distributions

Once you turn 72, you’re required to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your traditional IRA. The amount you’re required to withdraw is based on your age and account balance. Make sure to take your RMDs by the end of the year to avoid costly penalties.

By following these tips, you can make the most of your IRA for 2022 and beyond. Remember to keep track of important deadlines and stay informed about changes to the tax code to ensure you’re making informed decisions about your retirement savings.
