Retirement tax questions

@sschindler  there is a filing requirement if the self-employment incomes exceeds $400.  while there will no INCOME tax, there will SELF-EMPLOYMENT TAX. 

 

Technically, the Roth contribution does not create the filing requirement.  It's the self-employment income that exceeds $400 that creates the filing requirement.

 

The Roth contribution will not remove the Self-Employment tax payment of around $90.
