The provisions fall into the following three themes: 1) Traditional savings accounts; 2) iras and their contribution limits; 3) Addressing minimum distributions from retirement accounts for seniors. Specifically, the legislation would do the following: – Exclude up to 0 (twice that amount for married couples) of interest income from gross income annually. – Permanently increase the IRA contribution limit from 00 per year to 500 (the current employer-sponsored plan limit). – Temporarily double the contribution limit to employee-iras and employer-sponsored plans from 500 to 000. – Temporarily increase the catch-up contribution cap for employee-iras and employer-sponsored plans to 000. – Temporarily suspend requirements for minimum distributions from tax-deferred retirement plans. This provision mirrors legislation Rehberg introduced last Congress that permitted seniors to forgo their required minimum distribution from their iras, 401k accounts, or annuities. Currently if a senior does not take their required minimum disbursement (RMD) after age 70 ½, they are heavily penalized. Although Congress has temporarily suspended rmds for the year 2009; this bill would extend that suspension through 2012 to allow further time for the market to stabilize.

Steve Fought is 50-years-old and wonders how much he can contribute to his Roth IRA this year, including catch-up provisions. Well, you have plenty of time, since we’re still early in 2010. But there might be some inflation adjustments made, whether that happens or the exact number will be determined later this year. For now, plan on the 00 contribution limit from last year. That’s the 00 limit, plus the 00 catch-up provision for being over 50. You can always add to your fund later this year, if changes are made. A couple things to clarify: Contribution limits apply to your Roth and your traditional IRA. So if you have both, that means there’s a limit on the total contribution. In other words, if 00, you’re limited to 3 to each or 5 to one 00 to the other, and so on. Also, you can only make contributions if you have earned income. If your only income is from a pension or investment gains, you cannot make any contributions to a retirement account.
