- You don't want to take mandatory withdrawals after age 70½.
- You prefer to have tax-exempt funds available at retirement.
- You do not have another IRA or you want to split contributions between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA (the combined maximum allowed for the Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA is limited to $4,000 per year, or $5,000 for age 50 and over).

Spousal Individual Retirement Account (Spousal IRA)
Saving for the future is often hard—especially when only one spouse is working. The non-employed spouse doesn’t have the same built-in retirement savings opportunities the working spouse has. That’s when a Spousal IRA makes sense. It’s an account in the non-working spouse’s name, and couples may contribute up to the maximum allowable for a regular IRA.
You may be interested in a Spousal IRA if:
- You are a working, married taxpayer.
- Your spouse earns less than the maximum allowable annual IRA contribution in yearly wages.

Take advantage of potential tax-exempt withdrawals* used for education expenses.
You may be interested in a Coverdell Education Savings Account if:
- You want to help pay for a child's education, and you want earnings to grow tax-exempt.
- You can make contributions to a CESA up to $2,000 each year per student.

Contributions to a CESA
- Nondeductible contributions may be made to each child's account annually.
- Contribution deadline is the same as the contributor's tax filing deadline, not including extensions. The designated student must be 18 years of age or younger (unless the student is a special needs beneficiary).
Withdrawals and penalties
- CESA withdrawals used to pay for qualified education expenses, are generally tax-free* and not subject to a 10% federal additional tax for early withdrawal. Bank penalties may apply for withdrawals from time deposits before maturity.
- Funds in a CESA must be distributed to the designated student by the time the student reaches age 30, or funds rolled over to another eligible family member's CESA.
