Roth IRAs at Scottrade

Does a Roth IRA Fit Into Your Retirement Strategy?
One of the biggest differences between Roth IRAs and Traditional IRAs is in tax benefits.
Roth IRA contributions are made with
"after-tax" dollars, meaning your Roth IRA contributions have already been taxed with
your income. Therefore, your contribution dollars can be withdrawn at any time
and can generally be withdrawn tax-free.
