An Individual Retirement Account Certificate of Deposit (IRA CD) allows you to save for retirement while taking advantage of the tax benefits of an IRA.

Here's the advantage of an IRA CD: With a traditional CD, the interest earned is subject to income tax in the year it is earned. In contrast, with an IRA CD, the interest you earn is tax-deferred until you withdraw the funds from your IRA account. This means that you won't have to pay taxes on the interest you earn until you start making withdrawals from your IRA, which is typically after age 59 1/2.
