- TRADITIONAL IRA
- ROTH IRA
- SEP IRA
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 disbursed1.
Eligibility
- There are no age restrictions.
- Must have earned income.
- Tax deductibility is based on income requirements.
Contribution Limits
The total contribution limits for both Traditional and Roth IRAs are:
- 2019: $6,000
- 2020: $6,000
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.
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.

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).1
Eligibility
- There are no age restrictions.
- Participants must have earned income.
- For the 2020 tax year, Roth IRAs require an adjusted gross income below $206,000 (for couples filing jointly), with reduced contribution limits beginning at $196,000. For single filers, the contribution limit is $139,000, with contributions phased out starting at $124,000.
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 59½1. 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:
- 2019: $6,000
- 2020: $6,000
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 benefits1 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 2020 tax year, employers may contribute up to 25% of annual compensation or $57,000 (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.1
