2008 IRA Contribution Limits & Rules

2008 IRA Eligibility

The IRS does not prohibit anyone from contributing to an IRA. However, your contribution may not be deductible. An IRA is a great tax-deferred way to save for retirement. The main advantage is that your initial contributions are tax deductible and that any gains (interest, earnings, or capital gains) are tax deferred until you begin making withdrawals.

2008 IRA deduction rules limit hi-income earners who are covered by a workplace retirement plan from having their contributions be tax deductible. However, regardless of your income, you can contribute to an IRA, up to the 2008 IRA contribution limits.
