k-1 income and IRA contribution

Bill takes a salary from his “S” Corp and receives a k-1.  Does the k-1 income count towards his ability to contribute to his IRA?



No.  Nothing reported on Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) is compensation.  Bill’s compensation from the S-corp that will support an IRA contribution is the amount of wages reported in box 1 of his W-2 from the S-corp.  Bill is required to receive reasonable compensation from the S-corp and must be reported on the W-2.
