2010 Traditional and Roth IRA Contribution Limits

http://www.moolanomy.com

The contribution limit for IRA did not change for 2010. Like 2009, the maximum you may contribute to your Traditional and Roth IRAs combined is $5,000. If you are 50 years and older, your contribution limit is $6,000 (due to $1,000 catch-up contribution allowance). Note this is a per individual limit and as a married couple, the contribution limits are effectively $10,000 to $12,000 combined.
It’s important to know that the limit applies to the combination of both Traditional and Roth IRA....

I’ve had a Traditional IRA

I’ve had a Traditional IRA since 2002. It was a great account to help me avoid hundreds in taxes during my early twenties. The Traditional IRA gave testking dumps way to the 401(k), which you testking 70-270 can’t contribute to at the same time as the Traditional IRA. Then, in 2009, I finally opened my first Roth IRA, which I can contribute to, along with my 401(k), as they are taxed differently. The contribution limits aren’t that high for IRAs. Not like a 401(k). That, in my opinion, makes it far more important to take advantage of the annual IRA contributions. Every year you pass this up is another year you can’t contribute a tax-advantaged sum to your retirement. A 401(k) is more testking 70-640 forgiving. With the 401(k)’s high contribution limit, you’d be able to catch up quicker with your tax-advantaged retirement savings if you started later in life. Not to say you shouldn’t also contribute to your 401(k) to at least get the match from your employer.
