NFCU approves IRA
The Board of Directors of Navy Fed-
eral Credit Union has approved the es-
tablishment of tax-sheltered Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) by members
who qualify under the provisions of the
Employee Income Security Act of 1974,
according to RAdm. Thomas J. Hughes,
USN, President of NFCU.
With an IRA, a member not actively
participating in a qualified pension or
profit-sharing plan may contribute an-
nually 15% of his earned income, to a
maximum of $1500. Such IRA contribu-
tions, and dividends earned by them,
are deductible from current income for
Federal tax purposes.
The funds may not be withdrawn from
an IRA prior to age 59 1/2 without in-
curring both regular tax and an addi-
tional 10% non-deductible penalty tax.
Withdrawal of funds must begin prior to
age 70 1/2. Funds withdrawn after re-
tirement are taxed as regular income,
but at a time in life when most indi-
viduals are in a lower tax bracket.
According to RAdm. Hughes, "While
active duty Navy and Marine Corps per-
sonnel are not eligible for an IRA, the
wage-earning spouses of such personnel
may be entitled to establish such ac-
counts if they are members of NFCU or
are eligible for membership.
"Also, retired Navy and Marine Corps
personnel enjoying a second career may
establish an IRA, even while receiving
retired pay, as long as they are not
participating in another retirement
plan," he said.
An NFCU member desiring to take ad-
vantage of IRA tax benefits on this
year's return must have deposited his
funds prior to Dec. 31, 1975.
Each NFCU Individual Retirement Ac-
count receives the same dividends as
other NFCU share accounts, and is cov-
ered by the terms of NFCU's complimen-
tary life insurance. Share insurance to

tor, National Credit Union Administra-
tion, an agency of the Federal Govern-
ment. This $40,000 coverage is in ad-
dition to insurance on regular share
accounts.
