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.
In fact, a traditional IRA can be used as a rollover, or conduit, IRA. The purpose of a rollover IRA is to segregate retirement funds that may be eligible to be transferred into an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401k or 403b ,from funds that are not eligible for such transfers.Without this segregation, many retirement plans will not accept incoming transfers from an IRA.ollover IRAs are created when a person transfers money out of an employer retirement plan like a 401k, 403b or 457 plan. A rollover IRA can be changed to a traditional IRA at any time. The IRS treats all rollover IRA accounts as traditional IRAs.
