Best Answer

Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) were introduced in 1974 with the enactment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). As Congress originally conceived the accounts, participants could contribute up to $1,500 a year and reduce their taxable income by the amount of their contributions.
