IRA Contribution Rules
Catch-Up Contributions
Catch-up contributions for both Traditional and Roth IRAs are allowed after age 50. Typically, the catch-up amount is $1,000 above the normal contribution amount.
Prior Year Contributions
If you did not maximize your contributions in the prior year, the IRS allows you to make a contribution in the current year and apply it to the prior year, provided you make the contribution by the tax deadline, normally April 15.
Traditional IRA Contribution Rules
Deducting your contributions from your taxes is based on income and participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
