What is an IRA?

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

by Daniel Beckett

IRAs are a form of retirement fund that allow US citizens to lower their tax owed. IRAs can either be offered by employers or created by individuals. Since funds are contributed directly to IRAs, most are tax free under US tax law.

Forms of IRAs

Individual Retirement Accounts come in a variety of forms, each with different distinguishing characteristics. Traditional IRAs are the most generic form of IRA, and are generally what people refer to when they don’t specify an IRA type. Roth IRAs, on the other hand, allow tax free withdrawals, as money is taxed as it is deposited.

SEP IRAs are generally offered by small businesses or self-employed indivuals. SIMPLE IRAs are more similar to 401(k) plans than other IRAs, though they have lower contribution limits and simplified administration. Self-Directed IRAs allow the holder to manage the fund themselves, rather than appointing a manager.

There were formerly several other types of IRAs, including Rollover, Conduit, and Educational IRAs. These have either been eliminated, or renamed in the case of Educational IRAs.

Despite their differences, the tax treatments required for IRAs are very similar. The only major difference is for Roth IRAs, which are taxed at withdrawal instead of deposit.

Contributions

Only money can be deposited in IRAs. At the moment, $5000 is the annual contribution limit for most people, though anyone over 50 years of age can deposit an additional $1000. However, no one can give more than their annual income.

Funds can be transfered between IRAs and most other retirement accounts. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part IRAs and other retirement accounts can be freely combined.

Withdrawals

Generally there are strong penalties for withdrawing funds from retirement plans with tax benefits, and IRAs are no exception. In this case, funds cannot be withdrawn without significant penalties before the holder reaches the age of 59 and 1/2. Exceptions allowing withdrawals include educational expenses, if the holder becomes disabled, or the first time the holder buys a house.

There are also penalties associated with holding funds in IRAs too long - if no withdrawals are made before the holder reaches 70.5 years, funds in the IRA will begin to be lost.

Direction

With the exception of Self-Directed IRAs, IRAs are generally managed by designated managers. IRAs are usually composed of securities. Some other assets are often allowed, but many managers discourage their inclusion.

Choosing the Right Product

Thursday, April 24th, 2008
by Kim and Charles Petty

When you first start your online business, the first and most obvious question you will ask yourself iswhat am I going to sell? Points to consider when deciding the answer to that question are:

Is it light and easy to ship?

Is it a digital good that is downloaded (e-book or software)?

Is it perishable or fragile?

Does it have to be seen and held (designer fabrics, perhaps)

Is there enough demand to make your venture profitable?

Does it have little competition from large online companies (niche products)?

The last two characteristics are the ones that can be hard to pin down. Here is a generally accepted method of arriving at an idea of how heavy the demand and competition is for a product.

If you have a special interest in some products that meet the above criteria, great, but don’t limit your investigation just to items you like. You are looking for a niche product with relatively good demand (enough to make it profitable), but without heavy competition.

One way to see what the demand is for products you are interested in is to look at search engines to see how frequently people search for the product you are considering.

The result of all this research should be that one or more products will fit into a niche market - products with some demand, and relatively little supply. For the best results, focus on one niche product category, and offer a wide selection. That way, you can become the best online source for that particular category. For example, instead of offering general craft supplies, offer the widest possible selection of needlepoint kits. This strategy will also allow you to rank higher in search engines because you can optimize your pages for fewer, more specific, keywords.
