Over the years, you probably have heard what a good investment an IRA is. It's the one chance the average working person has to set aside some money for retirement without Uncle Sam taking a penny. At the same time, those folks with an IRA get a significant tax break every April 15th. Under the new tax laws, there have been some changes to the IRA rules. But, even under the new laws, IRA's are still one of your best investments. Of course, the new tax laws don't go into effect until April 16, 1987. So, in the meantime, it's IRA's as usual. If you have any questions about your IRA, give us a call. We'll be glad to answer your questions and send you a free brochure outlining all the IRA rules for 1987.
