I have stock that I want to sell and put the proceeds into my IRA account, will I still have to pay taxes on the proceeds from the sale.

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

Yes.  Doesn't matter what you do with the proceeds.  And to contribute to the IRA you need to have enough earned income from W2 wages or a net profit on schedule C from self employment income.  And the max to make a new contribution is $5,500 (6,500 if over 65).  You are not doing a transfer or rollover.

Yes, you will.
