TRADITIONAL IRA
A Traditional IRA is a convenient, straightforward way to save for retirement. With this popular plan, your contributions may be tax deductible and all earnings are tax-deferred until your funds are disbursed3.
Eligibility
- There are no age restrictions.
- Must have earned income.
- Tax deductibility is based on income requirements.
Contribution Limits
- 2024: Total contribution limits for Traditional and Roth IRAs is $7,000 ($8,000 for age 50 or older).
- 2025: Total contribution limits for Traditional and Roth IRAs is $7,000 ($8,000 for age 50 or older).
Catch-up contributions are also available for the IRA of a non-working spouse.
Rollovers
If you retire or change jobs, you can roll over the funds in a qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), to a Traditional IRA at Ridgewood. If you receive your funds in a lump-sum distribution, you must move the funds to your new IRA within 60 days to avoid any IRS penalty or to preserve the tax-deferred status of your assets1. Rollovers of IRA distributions are limited to one per 12-month period.
Transfers
If you have an existing IRA at another financial institution, you can take advantage of our competitive IRA CD rates and local service by easily transferring your IRA to Ridgewood.
To learn more, call our retirement specialists today at (877) 417-6547.
ROTH IRA
Roth IRA contributions are not tax-deductible, but earnings accumulate tax-free. And, because your contributions are taxed up front, you will be able to withdraw both your principal and interest tax-free (when qualifications are met).3
Eligibility - 2024
- There are no age restrictions.
- Participants must have earned income.
- For the 2024 tax year, Roth IRAs require an adjusted gross income below $240,000 (for couples filing jointly), with reduced contribution limits beginning at $230,000. For single filers, the contribution limit is $161,000, with contributions phased out starting at $146,000.
Eligibility - 2025
- There are no age restrictions.
- Participants must have earned income.
- For the 2025 tax year, Roth IRAs require an adjusted gross income below $246,000 (for couples filing jointly), with reduced contribution limits beginning at $236,000. For single filers, the contribution limit is $165,000, with contributions phased out starting at $150,000.
Qualified Distributions
To qualify for tax-free distributions, the Roth IRA must have been open for five years and the account holder must be at least 59½3. The age requirement does not apply in the event of disability or death, or if the funds are used for qualifying homebuying or higher education expenses.
Contribution Limits
The total contribution limits for Traditional and Roth IRAs are:
- 2024: $7,000
- 2025: $7,000
Plus, individuals age 50 or older may make additional contributions up to $1,000 per tax year. These catch-up contributions are also available for the IRA of a non-working spouse.

SEP IRA
Simplified Employee Pension plans, or SEP IRAs, are qualified retirement plans designed to help self-employed individuals, small-business owners and employees access valuable tax benefits3 while saving for retirement.
The SEP plan is one of the more popular Qualified Plans because it combines the simplicity of an IRA with the added benefits of a Qualified Plan. A SEP is designed to permit an employer to contribute to employees’ IRAs and gives participants access to all the investment options of an IRA.
Eligibility
- SEP IRAs may be used by sole proprietors, partnerships and corporations.
Contribution Limits
For the 2024 tax year, employers may contribute up to 25% of annual compensation or $69,000 (whichever is lower) per employee.
For the 2025 tax year, employers may contribute up to 25% of annual compensation or $70,000 (whichever is lower) per employee.
Tax Advantages
Employer contributions may be excluded from the employee’s current taxable income, and the employer may deduct the contributions as a business expense.3

COVERDELL EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNT
A Coverdell ESA is a simple way for parents, grandparents and others to save for a child’s education. Similar to a Roth IRA, this nondeductible account offers tax-free earnings and withdrawals for qualified K-12 and higher education expenses3.
Eligibility
- Beneficiaries must be under the age of 18.
- Anyone may set up or contribute to a child's Coverdell ESA (income limits apply).
Contribution Limit
The total annual contribution limit is $2,000 per child.
