An after-tax IRA (a Roth IRA) will not reduce your taxes in the current year. You will not get any kind of deduction on your current taxes for contributions to a Roth IRA. However, when you retire the distributions from the Roth IRA will be tax free. A Traditional IRA will give you a deduction on your current year taxes, but the distributions will be taxed as income when you retire.

What are the differences between a traditional after-tax IRA and a Roth IRA in terms of tax implications and benefits?

The main difference between a traditional after-tax IRA and a Roth IRA is how they are taxed. Contributions to a traditional after-tax IRA are tax-deductible, but withdrawals are taxed as income. In contrast, contributions to a Roth IRA are made with after-tax money, but withdrawals are tax-free if certain conditions are met.
