Definition of Individual Retirement Account

A self-directed retirement account that allows individuals with earned income to contribute the lesser of 100% of earned income or $5,000 per year. The contributions may be made with pretax or after-tax dollars, depending on the individual’s level of income and whether or not they are eligible to participate in an employer’s sponsored plan.
