Are payments from PLTD (Privately purchased Long Term Insurance) included in the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) used to determine the income limit for making IRA contributions? For example, a couple has privately purchased long term disability insurance with already taxed funds. Any payments for a claim are therefore not taxable. The income limit is $240,000 for a married couple to make a ROTH IRA contribution. That couple made $230,000 in the usual income and another $15,000 from PLTD. Does the PLTD payment make that couple unable to contribute to their ROTH IRAs?
This question is similar to another one that I just posted, but I hope it is appropriate to post this one separately to avoid confusion between the issues.
Thank you in advance,
