Is sick-leave payout at retirement considered "earned income" (in relation to a Roth IRA contribution)?
I retired in 2021 but deferred my sick leave payout to 2022. Can I use these funds to contribute to a Roth IRA?
The IRS treats an amount in box 1 of a W-2 (minus any amount in box 11) as compensation that will support an IRA contribution.
