A Qualified IRA, or Qualified Individual Retirement Account, is a retirement savings account that meets specific Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements, allowing for tax benefits. Contributions to a Qualified IRA may be tax-deductible, and the investment grows tax-deferred until withdrawal, typically during retirement. The most common types include Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, each with distinct tax treatment and eligibility criteria. To maintain its qualified status, the IRA must adhere to IRS rules regarding contributions, withdrawals, and distributions.

You can receive a tax benefit on your IRA contributions in a few ways, depending on the type of IRA you have. For a traditional IRA, contributions may be tax-deductible, reducing your taxable income for the year you contribute. For a Roth IRA, while contributions are made with after-tax dollars and are not deductible, qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free. Additionally, income limits may apply, so it's important to check eligibility criteria for tax benefits.
In an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), a person pays taxes on the money when they withdraw it, depending on the type of IRA. For a Traditional IRA, withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income in the year they are taken, while contributions may be tax-deductible. In contrast, Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars, so qualified withdrawals are tax-free. It's important to follow specific rules regarding withdrawals to avoid penalties and ensure tax compliance.
First a $70,000 move of funds from a qualified plan to an IRA is not actually a contribution. It is a rollover or transfer from one custodian to another and is a non-taxable event. Therefore, whether the tax filing status is joint, single, head of household or something else, no deduction is due from the movement of these funds from the employer's plan to an individual's IRA.
Fortunately, you can easily convert your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA during a given tax year. You can contact the company that operates your IRA and have them rollover the traditional IRA to the new Roth IRA.
