Frequently Asked Questions
What is a payroll deduction IRA, and how does it work?
A payroll deduction IRA is a streamlined retirement savings option where employees open a Traditional or Roth IRA with a financial institution and authorize automatic contributions directly from their paycheck. This makes saving simple and consistent — contributions are deducted before or after tax (depending on the IRA type) and deposited into the employee’s individual account each pay period.
Who is eligible to participate in a payroll deduction IRA?
Any employee who performs services for the company can participate if the employer offers a payroll deduction IRA program. Employers must offer it uniformly — it cannot be limited by job title, tenure, or classification. This flexibility makes it ideal for small businesses seeking an easy retirement benefit.
What are the contribution limits for payroll deduction IRAs?
For 2026, the annual IRA contribution limit is $7,500 for individuals under age 50 and $8,100 for those age 50 and over (including the $1,100 catch-up contribution). Traditional and Roth IRAs share this combined limit, regardless of how the contributions are made (through payroll or direct deposit). These limits are set by the IRS and typically adjust annually for inflation.
What’s the difference between a payroll deduction IRA and an employer-sponsored IRA?
A payroll deduction IRA allows only employee contributions via payroll; employers do not contribute funds. Employers simply facilitate the withholding and remittance of employee-authorized contributions. An employer-sponsored IRA plan (like a SEP or SIMPLE IRA) may include employer contributions and has additional IRS reporting or matching requirements.
Can my team and I choose between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA with payroll deduction?
Yes. Employees select whether their payroll deductions go into a Traditional (pre-tax) IRA or a Roth (after-tax) IRA based on their personal tax strategy and eligibility. Employees may also change their choice during the year as long as payroll instructions are updated.
How do I set up and manage payroll deduction IRA contributions?
Employees open an IRA with IRA Club SBS, then authorize their employer to deduct a chosen amount from each paycheck. Contribution amounts can be changed or stopped at any time by notifying the employer or payroll provider.
What investment options are available in a payroll deduction IRA at IRA Club SBS?
At IRA Club SBS, our systems integrate with iFlip, a Shield+ protected AI-powered investing platform that adapts to today’s unpredictable markets, letting you and your team invest confidently without timing the market or paying high advisor fees.

Are payroll deduction IRA contributions tax-deductible?
Traditional IRA contributions may be tax-deductible, offering immediate tax benefits. Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars and grow tax-free, but are not deductible.
How do withdrawals and penalties work for payroll deduction IRAs?
Withdrawals from a Traditional IRA before age 59½ are subject to income tax and a 10% early withdrawal penalty. Roth IRA contributions can be withdrawn penalty-free at any time, but unqualified earnings withdrawn before 59 ½ may incur taxes and penalties.
Why should I, as a small business owner, offer payroll deduction IRAs to employees?
Payroll deduction IRAs are easy to set up, require minimal administration, and help employees save for retirement. They offer a valuable benefit without employer contributions or complex reporting requirements, making them ideal for small businesses. Contact our onboarding specialist at IRA Club SBS here.
