CUNA Youth Month Winners

Congratulations to Fred, Drew, and Nash for being selected as our CUNA Youth Month winners.

To be entered into our CUNA Youth Month contest, Goal Club accountholders had to make at least a $25 deposit in their Goal Club Youth Savings Account during the month of April. Each winner received an astronomy kit and a $100 savings deposit.

This year's CUNA Youth Month theme was, “Save Small. Dream Big. at your credit union™, and one day you may have enough to fulfill a financial dream! ” This theme made saving for the future fun and encouraged younger members to create financial dreams and work hard to see them through.

Important IRA Withholding Information

Payments from your IRA are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect no withholding.  You may change your withholding election at any time prior to your receipt of a payment. To change your withholding election, complete the appropriate form provided by your Credit Union.  Withholding from IRA payments, when combined with other withholding, may relieve you from payment of estimated income taxes. However, your withholding election does not affect the amount of income tax you pay.  You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are insufficient.  For more details, contact Carolina Trust at 843.448.2133, ext. 3.
