Taking a glucocorticoid medication (sometimes called corticosteroids) for treatment of inflammatory arthritis or other health problem may weaken your bones. This, in turn, can lead to osteoporosis. The good news is there are ways you can protect your bones while taking glucocorticoid medicine.
The two types of IRAs â Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs â differ on income limits, age limits, and the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). The main difference between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA is how theyâre taxed. (This is the tax deferred versus tax exempt distinction we referred to above.) If you choose a Traditional IRA, you donât pay taxes on your contributions until you make a withdrawal, usually in retirement.
A rollover contribution may originate from the following: 1  A distribution from the same Traditional IRA, another Traditional IRA, an SEP IRA or a SIMPLE IRA that meets the two-year requirements. Rollover contributions must be made within 60 days after the IRA holder receives the distributed assets.
