Who is eligible to open a Traditional IRA?

You are eligible to open a Traditional IRA and make deductible contributions if you receive U.S. earned taxable income and your modified adjusted gross income is below the limits set by law. Typically, if you are not active in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, 100% of your contribution to a Traditional IRA is deductible.

If you are active in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, the amount eligible for deduction depends on your modified adjusted gross income. Individuals whose modified adjusted gross income falls between the limits may be eligible for a portion of their contributions to be tax-deductible. If your income is above the limits listed below, you are eligible to make only non-deductible contributions to an IRA.

Married, filing joint tax return: $116,000 to $136,000 for 2023 and $123,000 to $143,000 for 2024.

Married, filing separate tax returns: $0 to $10,000 for all tax years.

Single: $73,000 to $83,000 for 2023 and $77,000 to $87,000 for 2024.

For more information, consult your tax advisor or refer to IRS Instructions to Form 8606.
