IRS Announces New IRA info

February 06, 2025


The IRS has announced the 2025 limits for IRAs.

REMINDERS:

    *       An individual's regular IRA contributions cannot exceed their eligible compensation.  What does this mean?

            Eligible compensation includes wages, self-employment income, salaries and tips.  It does not include rental income, dividends, interest, profits, Social Security or Pensions.

    *       All IRAs are opened and owned by a single person - by your Social Security Number.  

    *       If you have little or no income, and file a joint tax return, you can contribute to an IRA based on your spouse's compensation.

    *       To determine if you've reached the maximum contribution amount for the year - add your regular IRA contributions AND your Roth Contributions AND any rollovers from 529s to a ROTH.

    *        If we exceed the IRA contribution limit, you may owe the IRS an excise tax on the excess amounts.
