For 2006,
the contribution phaseout for Roth IRA Contributions using the following Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) ranges are:
Not exact matches
It has substantially higher
contribution limits, no income
phaseouts on the full deductibility of
contributions, and lets you postpone RMDs if you're still working at age 70 1/2.
If your MAGI falls into the
phaseout region your
contribution limit for the year begins to fall.
BTW, I'd be thrilled to have a tax rate of 15 %, no amt, no
phaseout of my itemized deductions, the ability to make a deductible IRA
contribution, the ability to have child tax credits for my 3 kids, etc..
There is a
phaseout on Roth IRA
contributions, based on your filing status and modified adjusted gross income (MAGI).
If your MAGI falls within the
phaseout, your
contribution will be reduced.
It has substantially higher
contribution limits, no income
phaseouts on the full deductibility of
contributions, and lets you postpone RMDs if you're still working at age 70 1/2.
To make this deduction even better there are absolutely no income
phaseouts for the HSA
contribution deduction so you could be Bill Gates or Warren Buffet and still take the full HSA
contribution deduction.
But if her employer offers a 401 (k), she could make
contributions to bring her modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) down into or below the
phaseout range.
