This news isn't about cryptocurrency! It's about Roth IRAs, a type of retirement savings account. Imagine it like a special piggy bank for your future. It explains how moving money into a Roth IRA affects your taxes and might change how much you get from Social Security later.
- Moving money to a Roth IRA means you pay taxes now, but not later when you retire.
- It doesn't affect how much Social Security you get, only your earned income does.
- Be careful! Higher taxes could happen and it could affect things like Medicare.
