Retirement tax questions
Sure as long as you have taxable compensation (money that you work for) to support a contribution.
The most you can contribute to all of your traditional and Roth IRAs is the smaller of:
For 2018, $5,500, or $6,500 if you’re age 50 or older by the end of the year; or
your taxable compensation for the year.
For 2019, $6,000, or $7,000 if you’re age 50 or older by the end of the year; or
your taxable compensation for the year. There is not age limit to contribute to a Roth IRA and the Traditional IRA age limit is removed in 2020 and beyond.
(Taxable compensation is generally wages that you worked for - W-2 or net self-employed income minus the deducible part of the SE tax, but can include commissions, alimony and separate maintenance, and nontaxable combat pay ).
