Step 1:
Open a Fidelity IRA
Our IRAs have no account fees or minimums to open1 and commission-free trades.2 If you haven't done so already, open a Fidelity traditional, rollover, or Roth IRA. It's quick and easy.
Step 2:
Fund your account
Once you've opened your account, there are several ways to fund it.
- Make your first contribution
Consider maximizing your contributions each year, up to $6,000 for 2019 and 2020. And if you're age 50 or older you can save up to $7,000 for 2019 and 2020. Starting in 2020, as long as you are still working, there is no age limit to be able to contribute to a Traditional IRA. The Secure Act, signed into law on December 20, 2019, removed the age limit in which an individual can contribute to an IRA. The top age prior to the law was 70½. - Transfer other IRA assets
