Although 401(k) plans, company pension plans and Social Security benefits are good places to start, a Navy Federal Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA) can help boost your retirement savings while providing additional earnings and tax benefits. You may obtain further information on IRAs from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), by calling 1-800-829-3676 or by visiting irs.gov. Traditional and Roth IRAs Both Traditional and Roth IRAs are terrific retirement savings plans that offer unique tax benefits. Traditional IRAs are tax-deferred you don t pay taxes on your contributions until you withdraw the funds. And the reverse is true with Roth IRAs you pay taxes now, then you may withdraw the funds tax-free. General Rules and Regulations for Traditional and Roth IRAs Keep the following guidelines in mind when determining which IRA is best for you: > You can have both a Traditional and a Roth IRA. You can split your annual contributions between your IRAs, but the contributions in aggregate cannot exceed the annual contribution limit. > You must have earned income to contribute to an IRA. > Earned income includes wages, salaries, tips, self-employment income and other amounts that appear in Box 1 on your W-2. > Earned income doesn t include earnings and profits from property rental, interest, pension or annuity payments, and any other amounts that are excluded from income. > You may make contributions for the prior year up to the tax filing date, not including extensions (for most individuals). > You may make a maximum annual contribution of up to 100% of your earned income or the amount listed below, whichever is less: Roth and Traditional IRAs Individual and Spouse Maximum Contributions Years Less than age 50 Age 50 or over 2014 $5,500 $6,500 2015 $5,500 $6,500 2016 & beyond Index for inflation Index for inflation > For Traditional IRAs, you may begin taking qualified distributions at age 59½, and for Roth IRAs, you must also meet the five-year rule. > IRA accounts are individually owned and aren t eligible for joint ownership. However, you may designate (a) beneficiary(ies). > If your spouse is unemployed, married couples who file a joint federal tax return may contribute to a spousal IRA. > You must take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your Traditional IRA at age 70½ and older. There are no RMDs for Roth IRAs. Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs If you re self-employed (or work for a participating employer), a SEP plan may be the ideal way to save for your retirement. > It can be funded by both employer and employee. > You may make a maximum annual contribution for 2015 of 25% of compensation or up to $53,000, whichever is less. > You can make contributions for the prior year up to the tax filing date for the business, including extensions. > You must take RMDs from your SEP plan at age 70½ and older. > You can make contributions after turning 70½ (during RMD status), as long as you continue to have compensation.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT Moving Your IRA Funds Moving retirement funds from another financial institution to a Navy Federal IRA is simple and may be accomplished by one of the following: Direct Transfer Generally, a Direct Transfer is the easiest way to move assets from one IRA to another between two separate financial institutions. The transaction is neither taxable nor reportable and is completed by the distributing and receiving financial organizations. To initiate the Direct Transfer, ask the receiving financial institution (where the funds will be transferred) to generate and forward the required forms to the financial institution that currently holds your IRA funds. Upon receipt of your completed forms, the existing institution will send the requested funds to the receiving institution. This process takes approximately two to four weeks. Direct Rollover Consider a Direct Rollover if you leave a job where you participated in an employer pension or profit-sharing program, like a 401(k) or Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), and want to move your funds into an IRA. To do this, speak to your company s Plan Administrator, who can help you complete the necessary forms. Once completed, the administrator will distribute the assets to your IRA. This transaction is reportable as a distribution from the existing institution, and it will be reported as a rollover by the receiving institution. Your Plan Administrator will be able to provide you with an estimated time frame for this process. Rollover A rollover (also known as an Indirect Rollover) is a tax-free distribution of all or part of your IRA assets. Since you take possession of the IRA assets, the movement is reportable to the IRS. You may move your funds from one retirement plan to another or from one financial institution to another. However, you may make only one rollover of the same assets to another financial institution during a 12-month period. The rollover must be completed within 60 calendar days of the date you receive the distribution. Additionally, you re responsible for ensuring that the funds get from one IRA to another. Effective Jan. 1, 2015, the IRS will allow IRA owners to make only one rollover from an IRA to another (or the same) IRA in any 12-month period, regardless of the number of IRAs owned. Conversion A conversion allows you to move funds from a Traditional or SEP IRA into a Roth IRA. Conversions follow the same rules as rollovers, except assets can be converted more than once a year. You re required to report the previously deducted contributions and dividends that you re converting as income since they haven t been taxed. In addition, if you withdraw any of the converted assets within the first five years following your conversion, you ll pay a 10% penalty on that amount, regardless of age. Conversions are reported as a distribution from the Traditional IRA and as a conversion to the Roth IRA. Recharacterization Recharacterization allows you to unconvert a Roth IRA, returning it to a Traditional IRA without IRS penalties. (You may also recharacterize a conversion from a SEP and employer pension/profit-sharing plan.) Recharacterization follows the same process as a conversion; however, as with a rollover, you may only recharacterize assets once per calendar year. Recharacterization may also include recharacterizing a contribution made during the current year. For example, if you made a contribution to a Traditional IRA and then discovered that the contribution was nondeductible, you may choose to recharacterize the contribution to a Roth IRA. This recharacterization must be done before the tax filing deadline, plus extensions. Contributions You may make contributions to your Navy Federal IRAs at any time. All funds will be for the current tax year unless otherwise specified. Contributions that exceed the maximum annual limit may be subject to a 6% IRS excess contribution penalty and applicable income tax and interest. You may avoid the IRS penalty if the excess is removed prior to your tax filing date. To make a contribution, go to navyfederal.org, call 1-888-842-6328 or visit your local branch. Please see the table on page 6 for product options. Page 4 of 6

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ARRANGEMENT Withdrawing Your IRA Funds You may begin taking normal distributions from your Traditional IRA at 59½, and from the Roth IRA, you must also meet the five-year rule. IRA distributions are subject to a required minimum 10% federal tax withholding unless otherwise specified. IRA distributions before age 59½ are subject to federal income taxes and possible IRS penalties. Insurance on Your IRAs Your IRAs are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for up to $250,000 for combined balances in your Navy Federal Traditional, SEP and Roth IRA plans. This coverage is separate from your other Navy Federal accounts. Beneficiary Information When opening your IRA, be sure to establish your beneficiary(ies). You may establish your beneficiary(ies) by logging into Account Access or by completing a Navy Federal Change of Beneficiary Form 584. Additional Information For additional information or to open a Navy Federal IRA, go to navyfederal.org, call 1-888-842-6328 or visit your local branch. Page 5 of 6
