IRAs Debut As New Year Offers Tax Free Plans
Reaganomics introduces IRAs for 1980s workers and self employed. Individuals may invest up to 2000 dollars with a 2250 family cap for nonworking spouses. Deductions reduce taxable income and earnings aren’t reported. IRAs can supplement existing pensions and are offered via payroll deductions or self setup. Banks and brokers will handle accounts, earning rates tied to treasury bills in many cases.
