Tax Deferred
For investments held until retirement, the tax savings are substantial. At retirement, the retiree will likely be in a lower tax bracket and no longer subject to premature tax and product withdrawal penalties. Investing in qualified products, such as IRAs, allows participants to claim some or all of their contributions as a deduction on their tax return. The benefit of declaring deductions in current years and incurring lower taxation in later years makes tax-deferred investments attractive. A tax-deferred account allows you to postpone income tax that would otherwise be due on employment or investment earnings you hold in the account until some point the future, often when you retire. For example, you can contribute pretax income to employer retirement plans, such as a traditional 401(k) or 403(b). You owe no tax on any earnings in these plans, or in traditional individual retirement accounts (IRAs), fixed and variable annuities, and some insurance policies until you withdraw the money. Then tax is due on the amounts you take out, at the same rate you pay on your regular income. A big advantage of tax deferral is that earnings may compound more quickly, since no money is being taken out of the account to pay taxes. But in return for postponing taxes, you agree to limited access to your money before you reach 59 1/2.

Tax Deferred Annuity (TDA)
A tax-defer is a type of retirement plan available to employees of non-profit organizations, some public education organizations, cooperative hospital service organizations, as well as self-employed ministers. It is called a “tax-deferred” annuity because it is not taxed until the person starts withdrawing money from the annuity. A tax-deferred annuity is also known as a tax-sheltered annuity. Insuranceopedia explains Tax-Deferred Annuity (TDA) 403(b)s are an example of a TDA. These forms of retirement savings are commonly offered to government and non-profit organization employees. The employee, the employer, or both may contribute to the account, depending on the structuring of it.
