Retirement tax questions

For 2022 the total contributions you make each year to all of your traditional IRAs  and Roth IRAs can't be more than:

If you are self-employed your taxable compensation is your net profit (line 3 of Schedule 1) reduced by 

  • The deduction for contributions made on your behalf to retirement plans (line 16 of Schedule 1), and
  • The deduction allowed for the deductible part of your self-employment taxes (line 15 of Schedule 1).

 

Therefore, if you contribute the full net profit from line 3 Schedule 1 then you already contributed more than the taxable compensation and therefore made an excess contribution.
