Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) were introduced in 1974 with the enactment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). As Congress originally conceived the accounts, participants could contribute up to $1,500 a year and reduce their taxable income by the amount of their contributions.
