What are the 2010 Roth IRA contribution limits?
Each year, the IRS updates the annual contribution limits for IRA and Roth IRA accounts.
These limits include:
1) How much you can contribute annually
2) How much you can earn on an annual basis and remain eligible to contribute
So let's take a look at where these limits stand for the 2010 tax year.
The Roth IRA Annual Contribution Limit For 2010
Assuming you're eligible to contribute, the maximum Roth IRA contribution limit for 2010...
• $5,000 if you're under age 50
• $6,000 if you're over age 50
This means you can contribute no more than $5,000 to your Roth for the 2010 tax year if you're under 50 and no more than $6,000 if you're over 50.
However, don't just assume that you're eligible to contribute the maximum just because you're eligible to make a Roth contribution.
