Roth IRA in the United States

Plain-English Law

Roth Ira Online Resources

The Internet has offered tax information from its beginnings, but increasingly that data and advice are found on financial websites, especially those dealing with individual retirement accounts, such as traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs.

The Motley Fool (www.fool.com/) has gradually built a name for itself among investors as a place to get quality reports about public companies, mutual funds, and financial planning. Here you’ll find clearly written explanations about IRAs (www.fool.com/money/allaboutiras/allaboutiras.htmref=RTRiras)? and their tax benefits, the many varieties available (www.fool.com/money/allaboutiras/allaboutiras02.htm), and which IRA is best for your client’s situation (www.fool.com/money/allaboutiras/allaboutiras03.htm).

Another IRA site worth your time is Fairmark Press’s Tax Guide for Investors (www.fairmark.com/), which has a relatively far-ranging discussion of tax considerations, including a tax estimator (www.fairmark.com/estimate/index.htm) and a Tax Guide for Traders (www.fairmark.com/traders/index.htm) for clients who are “substantially active” in the stock market. A third destination is the Roth IRA website (www.rothira.com/), boasting explanations, news, and a summary of legal issues involving IRA contributions and withdrawals (www.rothira.com/#Law).

Sites that also offer IRA material but are more concerned with providing a wide range of tax news, forms, and links include Quicken.com’s Taxes (www.quicken.com/taxes/) and Microsoft Corp.’s Money Central Taxes (http:/moneycentral.msn.com/tax/home.asp). Both try to be the Internet’s best location for personal finance resources, such as tax calculators, federal and state tax forms, and changes in tax law.
