Question

Assume that Tommy and Michelle have an AGI of $107,000 before IRA deductions by either spouse. The AGI includes $10,000 that Michelle earned working part time (but she does not participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan). Tommy and Michelle file a joint return. What is the maximum deductible contribution Tommy and Michelle may make to a traditional IRA?

Answer 1

Based on the AGI that Tommy and Michelle have, and the fact that they make a joint return, the maximum deductible contribution to a traditional IRA is $11,100.

How much is their joint maximum deductible contribution?

Michelle does not participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan because she is working part-time.

This means that she is entitled to the full $6,000 maximum deductible contribution to a traditional IRA.

Tommy on the other hand, participates in an employer-sponsored retirement plan which means he will have to remove a certain percentage from the deductible based on his range of $104,000 - $124,000.

That rate will be 15% so he will pay:
= 6,000 x ( 1 - 15%)

= $5,100

The total contribution is:

= 6,000 + 5,100

= $11,100
