Retirement tax questions

Yes, since you made the contribution in December 2024 it will count as a contribution for 2024. Yes, you enter the contribution in the Roth IRA interview.

 

Did you get a warning that you made an excess contribution at the end of the interview? You had earned income to make the Roth IRA contribution?

 

For 2024, the total contributions you make each year to all of your traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs can't be more than:

  • $7,000 ($8,000 if you're age 50 or older), or
  • If less, your taxable compensation for the year

See IRS Retirement topics - IRA contribution limits for more details

 

You cannot deduct Roth IRA contributions, they will not lower your taxable income.
