However, if youâre curious, there is a fascinating system behind ABA numbers. The ABA number is like an address that tells everybody where to find your account. ABA numbers are also known as routing transit numbers (RTNs). âABAâ is used because the American Bankers Association (ABA) assigns the numbers to banks.
In contrast to a traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-deductible. Withdrawals are tax-free under certain conditions (for example, if the withdrawal is only on the principal portion of the account, or if the owner is at least 59Â½ years old).
Unlike traditional IRA contributions, Roth IRA contributions aren't tax deductible. Therefore, contributing won't decrease your taxable income. For example, if your taxable income is $50,000 and you put $5,000 in your Roth IRA, you'll still be taxed on $50,000 of income.
