IRA Term Share Certificate Account

Established by the federal government in 1978 to provide consumers with a tax-deferred personal retirement savings vehicle, the IRA is an ideal way to save for retirement.

HCFFCU offers IRA accounts as follows:

  • Members are eligible to open an IRA if they have earned income or received alimony during the year.
  • Dividends are compounded and paid quarterly.
  • The maximum annual contribution limit for 2023 is $6,500 or your taxable income, whichever is lower (or $7,500 if you are age 50 or over by the end of 2023).
  • Contributions may be tax-deductible in the year they are made.
  • Investments within the account grow tax-deferred.
  • Withdrawals in retirement are taxed as ordinary income.
  • The IRS requires individuals to begin taking money out of the account at age 73.
  • Unqualified withdrawals before age 59 1/2 may trigger a 10% early withdrawal penalty and income taxes.
