Can you have multiple IRAs open?

By Christopher Martinez |

How many IRAs can I have? There’s no limit to the number of individual retirement accounts (IRAs) you can own. No matter how many accounts you have, though, your total contributions for 2020 can’t exceed the annual limit of $6,000, or $7,000 for people age 50 and over.

    Can I move my IRA to another company?

    You can transfer an IRA from one financial company directly into a new or existing IRA at another company (a “trustee-to-trustee” transfer) as often as you need to without any tax consequences. If you have a special situation that may not allow for an easy direct transfer, we recommend that you consult a tax advisor.

    When does it make sense to have multiple IRAs?

    It may make sense to own multiple IRAs if each IRA has a different feature or advantage. Since Roth IRAs offer the potential for tax-free distributions, it may be a good idea to add money to that account while you are in a lower tax bracket and think you may be in a higher one at retirement.
