Contribution Limits: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still contribute to a Traditional IRA while also contributing to my workplace 401(k) or other retirement plan, or if my spouse is contributing to their workplace plan?

Yes, you can still contribute to a Traditional IRA; however, you might not achieve a tax deduction for the contribution – this is known as a “non-deductible contribution.” If your income is over a specified amount, defined by the IRS, you may only receive a partial deduction, or you may receive no deduction. When the non-deductible contributions are eventually distributed following the age of 59½, these funds are non-taxable upon withdrawal.

How much is too much? See the current IRS tables or view them on the IRS.gov website. Keep in mind, if you don’t have a workplace plan, but your spouse does, you may still fall into the non-deductible category.

Can I still make a spousal contribution if my spouse and I file tax returns separately?

No, if you have a non-working/earned-income-generating spouse, and you file returns separately, your earned income will not support their spousal IRA contribution.

What is the five-year Roth IRA seasoning rule?

In order to withdraw gains from your Roth IRA, the account must season, or be established, for at least five years, and you must be 59½ years old or older. Read more about the seasoning rule.
