Non-Deductible IRA Contributions are Under Utilized by High Income Earners
(ContentDesk) February 1, 2006 -- As they rapidly approach retirement age, many savers find that they need to save more than the maximum annual 401k contribution.
Many of these individuals would like to contribute more money to tax deferred investment accounts, but have been told they are ineligible to contribute to an IRA for one of the following reasons:1. They are an active participant in an employer sponsored retirement plan (pension plan, 401k, SEP, or SIMPLE) 2. Although not covered by an employer plan, a spouse is, and joint income exceeds $160,000.The good news for savers with a little more money to sock away is that almost any individual is entitled to contribute up to $4000 per year to a traditional IRA.
Regardless of income.
Regardless of whether or not they are covered by an employer plan.
Of course, with the IRS there is always a catch.
You cant take a deduction for your contributions if you are over the specified income limits.
