What is “Earned Income”?

IRA contributions are made with “earned income,” which you can get in two ways: either by working for someone or running/owning your own business.

Earned income includes money from salaries, wages, commissions, tips, bonuses, and self-employment income.

Note: IRS considers disability retirement benefits as earned income until you reach the age at which you would have received annuity or pension if you weren’t disabled.

What is Modified AGI?

The modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) determines your eligibility for important tax benefits and whether you can make tax-deductible contributions to IRAs. This MAGI number is likely to be close or identical to your adjusted gross income (AGI). It takes your AGI and adds back certain deductions, including:

  • IRA contributions and Social Security
  • Half of any self-employment taxes
  • Passive income or loss
  • Losses from a publicly traded partnership
  • Rental losses
  • Qualified tuition expenses
  • The exclusion for adoption expenses
  • Student loan interest
  • The exclusion for income from U.S. savings bonds
  • Tuition and fees

Exceptions to IRA contribution limits

  • You cannot contribute more than you earn. For example, if your taxable compensation for the year is $5,000, that’s also your IRA contribution limit.
  • If you’re nonworking and your spouse makes enough money to cover the IRA contributions, you can have spousal IRA. So, if you both are under age 50 and want to contribute the maximum to an IRA, your spouse needs to earn at least $12,000 in 2024 to cover the $7,500 annual maximum contribution for each of you.

Excess IRA contribution

An excess IRA contribution happens in these situations:

  • When you contribute more than the contribution limit.
  • When you make an improper rollover contribution to an IRA.
  • When you make a regular IRA contribution to a traditional IRA at age 70½ or older for 2019, or earlier.

Excess IRA contributions attract a tax of 6% per year for as long as the excessive amount stays in the IRA. However, the tax applied cannot exceed 6% of the combined value of all your IRAs as of the end of the tax year.

You can avoid excess IRA contributions by:

  • Withdrawing the excess contribution (and income earned on the excess contribution) from your IRA before the April tax deadline. But, if you’ve already filed your tax return, withdraw the excess contribution (and income earned on the excess contribution), and file an amended tax return by the October deadline.

2. SIMPLE IRA Contributions and Deadlines for Year 2023-2024


SIMPLE IRA Employee Contribution Deadlines

  • Employee contributions (deferrals) are due within 7 business days after the amount is deducted from their pay.

SIMPLE IRA Employer Contribution Deadlines

  • Employer contributions are due by the employer’s tax return date plus extensions. For the majority of individuals, the requirement for employer contributions spanning a year necessitates that they be completed by April 15 of the subsequent year. Alternatively, if an extension has been obtained, contributions must be made by October 15.

SIMPLE IRA Employee Contribution Limits

2024 2023
Employee elective deferrals $16,000 $15,500
Catch-up elective deferral contribution for age 50+ $3,500 $3,500

SIMPLE IRA Employer Contribution Limits

The employer can elect from two different contribution methods. The employer can either:

  • Match an employee’s salary reduction contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis, up to 3% of the employee’s compensation.

OR

  • Make non-elective contributions of 2% of each eligible employee’s contribution.

Lower percentage

An employer may choose to reduce the 3% matching contribution, but under a few conditions:

  • The limit must be at least 1%.
  • The limit is reduced for not more than 2 years out of 5 years.
  • The employer must notify the employees of the reduced match much in advance before the 60-day election period for the calendar year.

Non-elective contributions

If the employer chooses to make non-elective contributions of 2% of each eligible employee’s compensation, it must make non-elective contributions irrespective of whether or not the employee opts to make salary reduction contributions. An employee’s compensation up to $305,000 for 2022 and $330,000 for 2023 is considered while determining the contribution limit.

Important note: The employer can choose to make non-elective contributions of 2% over matching the contribution only if:

  • The employer informs the eligible employees about choosing non-elective contributions of 2% instead of matching the contribution, and
  • This notification is provided within a reasonable period before the 60-day election period for the calendar year.
