This article explains how fees are applied and what to expect when taking money from your account.
Program Fees
Your account includes ongoing fees that cover program administration and investment costs. These fees are based on your account and are automatically deducted over time.
MyCTSavings has an annual asset-based fee of approximately 0.23%, which includes the investment management fee of the underlying funds. This means you will pay approximately $0.23 for every $100 in your account. There is also a $26 annual account fee (that is charged quarterly at $6.50 each quarter). These fees pay for the administration of the program and the operating expenses charged by the underlying investment funds in which the program’s portfolios are invested.
Withdrawal Rules
Withdrawals from your IRA are subject to federal tax rules.
For Roth IRAs, contributions can generally be withdrawn without taxes or penalties because taxes were already paid on those amounts. Earnings may be taxable and subject to penalties depending on your age and how long the account has been open.
For traditional IRAs, withdrawals are generally taxable as income and may be subject to an additional penalty if taken before age 59½, unless an exception applies.
For guidance specific to your situation, consider speaking with a tax professional.
Administrative Fees for Withdrawals
Some withdrawal methods may include a small processing fee. Electronic transfers to a bank account are free. If you request a paper check, a processing fee will apply.
