IRA Limits
Tax deductible IRA contributions are based on qualifying income ranges and spousal participation in employer sponsored (e.g. 401K plans). You can make the maximum contribution (plus $1,000 more if over 50) if you make above the maximum income ranges, but you won’t get a tax deduction. However for higher income earners this is still worth doing as all capital gains are tax-free.
