NOW YOU CAN MAKE A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTION TO YOURSELF. The new tax law makes it possible for you to deposit up to $2,000 a year in a Wachovia Individual Retirement Account and deduct it from your taxable income ... even if you are presently covered by a company retirement program. You can deposit- the money -in large -op - small amounts, as often as you choose, whenever you choose. Your interest is based on high money market rates and it accumulates tax-free until you start making withdrawals. Of course, the law requires penalties on withdrawals before you reach age 59'/a.
