2024 Tax Season: What to Prepare For | Learn

As the 2024 tax season begins, staying informed and being prepared for taxes ensures that you are up to date.

In this guide, we'll provide you with essential tips and key information to help you navigate the deadline smoothly.

Understanding Taxes for Traditional and Roth IRAs

Traditional IRAs

When it comes to Traditional IRAs, it's important to understand how taxes apply, especially if you are taking distributions.

For clients with Traditional IRAs who aren't taking distributions, the process is straightforward. iTrustCapital works with third-party custodians who handle the necessary tax documentation for these accounts, except when distributions are involved.

If you are taking distributions from your Traditional IRA, consulting with a tax professional is recommended. It’s important to ensure all steps for your tax filing are correctly completed.

Roth IRAs

Roth IRAs differ from Traditional IRAs in taxation. While taxes on distributions might not be necessary, certain forms are still required. This is also true for those who have converted their accounts to a Roth IRA. Key forms might include Form 1099-R, Form 1040 or 1040A, and Form 8606.

For specific advice and to ensure you meet all requirements, consulting a tax professional is recommended.

The IRS website (www.irs.gov) also offers additional information and resources.
