It depends on the type you choose.

Traditional IRA : The maximum amount in Tradtional IRA is $2000. From the year 2000-2008 it went up to $5000. For the year 2009 based on the inflation rates, the restrictions would be modified. For now, the contribution that a person makes is deducted from tax. The amount will be calculated on the basis of the Adjusted Gross Income or AGI.

Education IRA : The maximum amount in Educaton IRA is usually $500 which is on annual basis and is tax free when the cash keeps growing. There is treatement given when the beneficiary wants to use it for education related costs.

Roth IRA : Roth IRA is not deductible. There is a plus point when comes to Roth IRA i.e its tax free when it's distributed. The buildup is also tax free. Your djusted Gross Income should be below $95000 for individual and $150000 for married couples. The rule here is, it cannot be withdrawed for the first five years.

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.
