The tax breaks for a "Traditional" IRA are tax-deductible where as the tax breaks in a "Roth" IRA are never tax-deductible. For more detailed information, speak to a financial adviser.
ROTH IRA and Traditional IRA may differ in many ways. Few examples of their differences are: Roth IRA has no tax break for contributions; tax free earnings and withdrawal in retirement. While the Traditional IRA has tax deduction during contribution year; an ordinary income tax owned on withdrawals.
Roth IRAs are similar to regular IRAs except for the fact that they allow you to forgoe a tax deduction. In order to qualify for a Roth IRA you must have documented form of compensation.
The main difference is the tax structure. With a traditional IRA you pay taxes on the money when you decide to cash it out and it is usually a very large amount. With the Roth IRA, you avoid the taxes when you take the money out. Roth IRA's have income restrictions also.
No. The combined total you contribute to all of your accounts must be less than your annual maximum.
Distributions from a traditional ("regular") IRA are taxable unless part of the distribution comes from a non-deductible contribution or a rollover of after-tax money. So you will pay tax when you take money out of the IRA, unless you can establish that the deceased person had after-tax money in the IRA. You may want to approach the executor of the estate to see if the tax records of the deceased reflect any after-tax (non-deductible) contributions. If you are concerned with what happens to your own IRA after you die, consider making your tax records available so that your beneficiary can easily find them. Distributions from an inherited Roth IRA are not taxable if the Roth IRA has been in existence for at least 5 years at the time the distribution is taken. If the IRA has not been in existence for 5 years, only distributions of the earnings are taxable. Distributions of contributions are not taxable. And the regular ordering rules apply: Any distributions are considered to have come from contributions before earnings, so even if you inherit a relatively new Roth IRA, you can try to stretch out the distributions so that you take out the earnings after 5 years. Again, you would need tax records of the deceased to determine whether the IRA is at least 5 years old and if it is less than five years old to determine how much is contributions and how much is earnings.
traditional is pre-tax and roth is post-tax , meaning traditonal is tax deferred until you take disbursment and roth is taxed already.
With a Roth you have less trouble when taking your monies out. With other types of account of this nature it can be a hassle.
A roth 401k is a bit more advanced than the old traditional 401k. It is improved technology wise and have more functions for you. It is better than the trad one.
A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax money and you do not pay taxes when you withdraw the money. A Traditional IRA is funded with pre-tax money and you pay taxes when you withdraw the money.
Taxes are paid upon withdrawal at a later date
ROTH IRA and Traditional IRA may differ in many ways. Few examples of their differences are: Roth IRA has no tax break for contributions; tax free earnings and withdrawal in retirement.

There are five types of IRAs (Traditional, Educational, Simplified Employee Pension, Simple, and Roth) and they are each very different from one another largely based on how much to contribute and taxes applied. Roth IRAs do not have taxes applied to them. http://www.ira.com/faq/faq-03.htm
In a traditional IRA, you pay the taxes back when you withdraw the retirement funds. With a roth IRA, however, you pay the taxes before you withdraw the money, and then you don't have to worry about them after. Which one is better is going to depend on your own individual situation. They both have their pros and cons. For most people, though, a roth IRA is the better choice.
There is a traditional IRA and a Roth ira. Not sure what the big difference is between the two? I would call up my local investment banker or private investment person to ask.
Traditional IRA's are tax deductible where as Roth IRA's are never deductible. You can read up on the differences at http://www.fool.com/investing/general/step-3-roth-vs-traditional-ira.aspx
IRA is Roth
The 401k is not taxed but the Roth 401k will be best in the long run as the money you get out wont be taxed then.
