Retirement tax questions

The situation remains the same regardless of what months you had the job that had an eligible retirement plan. If you are covered by a retirement plan through your job, you may be limited in the deduction you take for contributing to your IRA. 

 

It also does not matter whether or not you contributed to the retirement plan offered by your work. The IRS has more information on the deduction limit based on your filing status and gross income.
