Best Answer

You can set up and make contributions to a traditional IRA if:

  • You (or, if you file a joint return, your spouse) received taxable compensation during the year, and
  • You were not age 70½ by the end of the year.

You can have a traditional IRA whether or not you are covered by any other retirement plan. However, you may not be able to deduct all of your contributions if you or your spouse is covered by an employer retirement plan.

Are your IRA funds subject to social security tax?

A Roth IRA is supposed to be free of "all taxes", so I would guess that it is also free of social security tax, or else it would have a 15.3% tax on it. That would hardly be "free", but this is actually a good question. A regular IRA IS taxed upon withdrawal, but I don't know if it qualifies as "earned income" which is the only income that has to pay a social security tax.
