Retirement tax questions

It may or it may not.  It depends upon whether you qualify for deductible Traditional IRA contributions.

 

TurboTax will determine whether you qualify for a deductible contribution to a traditional IRA.

 

In TurboTax Premium Online, select Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions under Deductions & Credits and Retirement and Investments.

 

There are limitations on how much can be deducted based upon:

 

  • Your income (modified adjusted gross income), 
  • Your filing status, and 
  • Whether you are covered by a retirement plan (box 13 on your W-2).

The modified adjusted gross income tables are found on pages 13 and 14 of IRS Publication 590-A.

 

IRS Publication 590-A, page 9, states:

 

For 2024, the most that can be contributed to your traditional IRA is generally the smaller of the following amounts.

 

  • $7,000 ($8,000 if you are age 50 or older). or 
  • Your taxable compensation for the year.
