Tax-Advantaged Account

An account that reduces taxes on your investments, either now or in the future.

Tax-advantaged accounts — such as retirement or health accounts — offer tax benefits designed to encourage saving. Some defer tax until withdrawal, others let money grow and come out tax-free. Using them well can meaningfully accelerate the path to financial independence.

Examples

  • Retirement and health savings accounts shelter investment growth from annual taxes.
