What is IRA and Roth IRA?
An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a type of investment account that offers tax advantages to help individuals save for retirement. Contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax-deductible, but withdrawals during retirement are taxed as ordinary income. On the other hand, a Roth IRA allows for after-tax contributions, meaning contributions are not tax-deductible, but qualified withdrawals during retirement are tax-free. Both IRAs provide individuals with a means to save for retirement with potential tax benefits.

A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax money and you do not pay taxes when you withdraw the money. A Traditional IRA is funded with pre-tax money and you pay taxes when you withdraw the money.

If you lost money on a financial institution stock can you claim it as a loss?
Yes, if you sold the stock for less than your basis or if there was an event that caused your stock to become worthless during the year. Note that this does not apply if the stock was in a tax-sheltered account such as an IRA or a 401k. If a bank went out of business causing the stock to become worthless, you can claim it as a loss. If the value of the stock went from $200 a share to $.02 a share, it is not yet worthless -- no deduction until you sell it.
Does a 401K or Roth IRA provide greater tax efficiency?

I guess it depends;for instance, the traditional IRA is a retirement savings plan where contributions may be tax deductible and the values can grow tax deferred until withdrawal at retirement.However, for 2010, the IRA contribution limit for any wage earner is $5,000 or the individual's taxable wages, whichever is less. A wage earner over the age of 50 can contribute an additional $1,000 into an IRA. In the case of R-IRA, Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible by definition. The tax benefit from a Roth IRA is taken at retirement when distributions are tax-free.
