It established a $2,000 limit (up from $1500) on contributions regardless of a worker&#8217;s access to a retirement plan through work.<\/p>\n<p>Congress reversed course in 1986, limiting contributions for earners at jobs with retirement plans.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-dates-in-the-history-of-the-ira-in-the-united-states\">Key Dates in the History of the IRA in the United States<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1974<br \/><\/strong>Individual IRA accounts are created in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Employee_Retirement_Income_Security_Act\">Employee Retirement Income Security Act<\/a>.

Like the now-known-as &#8216;traditional&#8217; IRA, no taxes are charged on any growth in the account.
