Here is a link to the IRS590 document on IRS.GOV.
IRS590 or IRS Publication 590 is published by the IRS to provide information on individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) or self-directed IRAs, including how to set up an IRA, how to contribute, how much can be contributed, how to treat distributions and how to take tax deductions. IRS Publication 590 also provides information on tax penalties.
The information most relevant to taxpayers includes IRA contribution limits and how to calculate required minimum distributions.
There are significant differences between the various retirement accounts covered in IRS Publication 590 including IRA (Roth and Traditional), 401(k), Simple, SEP, 403(b) and various tax credits available.
IRS590 provides a lengthy discussion of traditional IRAs. The contributions you make to a traditional IRA are typically tax-deductible, although there are some exceptions and annual limitations.
IRS 590 also covers Roth IRAs. Roth IRAs are similar to traditional IRAs but with some important differences in the tax treatment. Publication 590 outlines the contribution limits to a Roth IRA, conversions and rollovers to and from a Roth IRA, and the taxation rules for distributions.
IRS590 discusses minimum distribution rules you must adhere to. In essence, the rules require you to begin making withdrawals from your traditional IRA once you reach the age of 70.5.
Publication 590 defines the contribution limits to SIMPLE IRAs as well as the distribution requirements, which are similar to the rules that apply to traditional IRAs.
