Traditional and SIMPLE IRA contribution at the same time

A person has an S corp and is maxing out their SIMPLE IRA (over age 50).

Is there an income limit that reduces what they can contribute to a personal IRA?

 



There is no income limit to contribute to an IRA, but there is for the contribution to be deducted if the individual (or a spouse) contributes to a workplace plan. The SIMPLE IRA contribution is treated as a workplace plan and therefore the MAGI for the person’s filing status may be too high to deduct the IRA contribution.

In that case, a Roth contribution has a higher MAGI limit and would be the next option to look into.
