What is a Roth IRA?

A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account designed to help you save for retirement. It allows for after-tax contributions with the potential for tax-free income in retirement. The Roth IRA was created through the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 to provide an alternative to making nondeductible contributions to traditional IRAs. It is named for the senator who was a sponsor of the legislation, William Roth.
