Retirement tax questions
That link gets an error.
All that matter is the tax law an how then IRS interprets it .
IRS Pub 590A
he most you can contribute to all of your traditional and Roth IRAs is the smaller of:
For 2019 and 2020, $6,000, or $7,000 if you’re age 50 or older by the end of the year; or
your taxable compensation for the year.
What Is Compensation?
Generally, compensation is what you earn from working. For a summary of what compensation does and doesn’t include, see Table 1-1. Compensation includes all of the items discussed next (even if you have more than one type).
Wages, salaries, etc.
Wages, salaries, tips, professional fees, bonuses, and other amounts you receive for providing personal services are compensation. The IRS treats as compensation any amount properly shown in box 1 (Wages, tips, other compensation) of Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, provided that amount is reduced by any amount properly shown in box 11 (Nonqualified plans). Scholarship and fellowship payments are compensation for IRA purposes only if shown in box 1 of Form W-2.
There is no such thing as "matching funds" in the tax law.
