You cannot contribute to a Roth IRA, however you can contribute to a traditional IRA at 70.5 years of age. As long as you are employed, you can also contribute to a 401k as well.

You can contribute to a Roth IRA after age 70.5 as long as you have earned income, but you cannot contribute to a traditional IRA after that age. For a 401(k) plan, it depends on the rules of the specific plan, but typically you can continue to contribute to it past age 70.5 as long as you are still working and the plan allows for it.

Can you contribute to a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA?

Yes, but combined contribution limits apply. For 2008 the maximum contribution amount is $5,000 for individuals under 50 years of age and $6,000 for those over 50. If you are under 50 and contribute $2,000 to your Roth IRA then you can only contribute $3,000 to your Traditional IRA. For a traditional IRA, you no longer can contribute after the age of 70 1/2 (RMD checks in). For Roth, you can contribute forever since no RMD are taken from this type of IRA account.
