My answer is YES,YES, YES, the best provision of a Traditional IRA which is the tax-deductibility of contributions is a good reason to consider making your investment this year. Today’s shaky state of our economy and the instability of the financial markets is a consideration, your retirement plan should be based on long-term investing goals and must continue.
While in the Traditional IRA, transactions in the account, including interest, dividends, and capital gains, are not subject to tax, withdrawals from the account, are subject to federal income tax and 10% early retirement penalty, some exceptions apply.
Please remember that you have until April 15,2010 to make your IRA Contributions for the tax year ended December 31, 2009.
Perhaps in times of economic uncertainty, the Traditional IRA funds might be placed in a more conservative investment vehicle not so reliant on the volatility of the stock markets. Be sure to consult a trusted financial advisor for information based on your individual needs.

2009 Tax Planning Letter - PADRÓ & Company, P.A.
Dear Clients and Friends,
With an economy struggling to recover from the financial woes of 2008, we are all hoping that 2009 will be a better year. A new administration in Washington means we're certain to have more changes to the tax code in 2009, but the shape and timing of these changes will depend on our economic situation.
The financial turmoil may have you wondering whether you'll have enough money to send your children to college, to pay for your own retirement, or to meet your other financial goals. This Tax Planning Letter is intended to stimulate your thinking about tax strategies that can leave more money in your pocket to spend or invest.
Effective tax planning is a year-round, lifelong activity, and though constantly changing tax law can make planning a challenge, making it a priority will pay off with lower taxes. We are committed to working with you to find the tax strategies best suited to your individual circumstances. If you have questions about anything in this Letter or about your tax-cutting options, please call. And if you have friends or associates who might be interested in tax planning information, feel free to share this Letter with them.
