There's Still QneTax
DeductionThat Hasrit
Gone Into Retirement.
If you've been reading
about the recent changes in the
tax law, you probably &iow that
many tax deductions are soon
of the past.
NCNB
Fortunately IRA.
there is still one Ontirvnc
tax deduction
that isn't going sffis
into retirement: t*,
an NCNB IRA.
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
this years IRA or future contributions uritil vou make withdrawals at retirement
