Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Depends on your income.

 

If you are claiming the foreign income exclusion, it will limit your ability to contribute to an IRA. If you exclude all of your income and have no other sources of earned income, you are not eligible to contribute to an IRA.

 

However, if you only exclude part of your income, or claim the foreign tax credit instead, you may still be able to contribute to an IRA.
