There's Still QneTkx
DeductionThatHasrit ,
Gone Into Retirement.
If you ve been reading
about the recent changes in the
tax law, you probably know that
many tax deductions are soon
going to De a thing
of the past.
Fortunately
there is still one
tax deduction
that isn't going
into retirement:
an NCNB IRA.
NGMB
IRA
Options
Fixed-Rate Accounts
Variable-Rate Accounts
MutualFunds
Government Secufities
Stocks and Bonds
Invest in an NCNB IRA by
April 15 and you can deduct the
entire amount from your 1986
taxes. So it makes a lot of sense
to get an IRA from NCNB now;
if you haven't already
But regardless of how the
tax law affects you in 1987 and
beyond, an NCNB IRA is still
one of the best ways around to
prepare for your retirement.
An NCNB IRA offers the
widest variety of investment
options, from fixed-rate
accounts to mutual funds. So
you can find the combination
that works best for you.
What's more, you won't
pay tax on interest you earn on
With all of me advantages that an NCNB IRA has to offer^youd
really have to be off your rocker not to take full advantage of them.
