Carole, age 38, is single and works as a physical therapist. She is covered by her employer’s retirement plan, and contributes $5,500 to her conventional IRA. If her AGI is $63,000, how much IRA contribution can she deduct for tax purpose?
If you are not married (and not a qualifying widower) and
you are covered by a retirement plan at work, then you can
take a full IRA deduction of up to your contribution limit, or
the amount of your taxable compensation, whichever is less,
as long as your adjusted gross income is $62,000 or less for
2017 and $63,000 or less for 2018.
What are the contribution limits for a
person who is not age 50 or older?
Tax Year Amount
2017 $5,500

She can deduct full contribution of $5,500 for tax purpose.
