Is a roth IRA a potentially tax free account?

Nothing is tax free. On a Roth IRA you pay the tax on the money the year you put it into the IRA. You are supposed to be able to withdraw it from the IRA without paying tax on it. In a regular IRA you put the money into an IRA and do not pay tax on it when you put it in. You pay the tax on it when you withdraw it. The idea behind the regular IRA is that you will pay taxes in old age when your income is down. The idea behind the Roth is that the government can get money from you now. You have to decide which you think is better in your particular situation.


Which type of IRA allows tax-free payouts when you retire?

A Roth IRA is what you want for tax-free appreciation. You cannot deduct amounts that you put into a Roth IRA but as it grows the growth is tax free. A traditional IRA is usually deductible in your current tax return based on income and other restrictions. The income for a traditional IRA grows on a tax deferred basis so you pay tax when you tax withdrawls from this type of IRA. If you calculate the income on both with the deductibility of the Traditional and the tax free growth of the Roth, the growth rate on both is about the same over a period of time.
