Retirement tax questions

@Tinchito  If box 13 on yiur W-2 is checked then you are covered by a retirement plan.

 

Covered by a retirement plan means that the employer has determine that you are eligible to contribute to a retirement plan whether you actually contribute or not is not material.

 

Being so covered has nothing to do with IRA contribution limits, it  might reduce or eliminate the ability to *deduct* Traditional IRA contributions but the contribution limits are not affected.
