A Guide to IRA Contributions

Almost anyone can contribute to a traditional IRA, or Roth IRA, provided you (or your spouse) receive taxable income and you are under age 70^½.

For 2020, your total combined annual contributions to your traditional and Roth IRAs cannot be more than:

• $6,000 for those up to age 49;  $7,000 for those age 50 and older
•  Your taxable compensation for the year, if your compensation was less than $6,000 (or $7,000 for age 50+.)   

The IRA contribution limits for 2019 are the same as 2020. Contributions can be made up until you file your tax return, and the date to file for tax year 2019 has been extended to July 15, 2020.

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for 2020 are completely waived for IRAs and do not need to be made up next year.
