What are the tax advantages of a Roth IRA over a traditional IRA?

You don't need to pay tax when you redraw from Roth IRA when retired. Traditional IRA only let you defer taxes.

In a traditional IRA, you don't pay tax on the money you deposit each year. The taxes are deferred until you withdraw the money (upon retirement). In a Roth IRA, you pay tax on the money that you deposit every year, but it is tax free when you withdraw it. The advantage with the Roth is, if your money is earning big interest (as in a Money Market or Mutual Fund), all the money that you earn over the years is tax free when you take it out. With the traditional IRA, not only will your investment money be taxed, but so will any money that it's earned over the years.

I'd definitely go with the Roth!

in a traditional IRA, you are not taxed on the deposits into the account. Instead, you are taxed when you withdraw money from the account. This means that interest and dividends earned in the account are subject to taxes. In a Roth IRA, you ARE taxed on DEPOSITS, not withdrawals, and so you will not get taxed on the dividends/capital gains/interest your account earns.

IN A TRADITIONAL IRA, U PAY THE TAXES AS YOU TAKE THE DISTRIBUTIONS, IN A ROTH IRA, U PAY THE TAXES AS IT IS BEING FUNDED SO WHEN YOU ARE WITHDRAWING, THERE ARE NO TAXES TO PAY ON THE MONEY.

Roth IRA takes AFTER TAX money (you get paid, taxed, THEN give it to the Roth) so when you take it out, there are NO TAXES at all. This is good if right now you are in a low tax bracket (perhaps just starting out in your career) and assume you will be in a higher tax bracket when you take the money out.

A roth has a limit you can contribute AND a limit to how much you may make per year.

On a ROTH IRA, you don't get the tax advantages of an immediate deduction but the income grows tax-free (not deferred). For a traditional IRA, you get the immediate deduction but have to pay tax on the income once you take it out at retirement.

It depends what your tax bracket is now, and what you anticipate it to be when you retire. If you make relatively little now and plan to be well off when you retire, you may be better off contributing to a Roth IRA where the money you contribute is taxed now. If however, you plan to make about the same amount, you will be better off contributing to a standard IRA. If they will be about even, better off contributing to a traditional IRA taking into account the time value of money.

With a Roth IRA your contirbution are after tax dollars which means you don't get any immediate tax breaks. However, any earnings in your Roth IRA becomes tax free when you withdraw at retirement. Example you buy a stock in a Roth IRA and it triples. When it is time to take out that money you don't have to pay any taxes on it.
