Can you deduct roth IRA contributions?

No, you can not deduct Roth IRA contributions. You pay regular income tax on the money you contribute to a Roth IRA. The tax advantage is that the taxes have already been paid with it is time to withdraw the money. Additionally, you pay no income tax on the increase in account value from interest, dividends, etc.


When do you pay taxes on a Roth IRA?

You pay taxes on a Roth IRA when you contribute to the account, as these contributions are made with after-tax dollars. However, any earnings and qualified withdrawals from a Roth IRA are tax-free, provided you meet the requirements, such as being at least 59½ years old and having the account for at least five years. Thus, while contributions are taxed upfront, the growth and withdrawals can be tax-free.


What is the difference between an IRA and roth IRA?

Traditional IRA contributions are tax deductible on both state and federal tax returns for the year you make the contribution, while withdrawals in retirement are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Roth IRAs provide no tax break for contributions, but earnings and withdrawals are generally tax-free.

How does a 65 citizen fill out a 8606 tax form?

Form 8606 is Nondeductible IRAs. Form 8606 is used to report several situations. One, nondeductible contributions made to a traditional IRA. Two, distributions from IRAs (traditional, SEP, SIMPLE) if nondeductible contributions were ever made to traditional IRAs. Three, distributions from Roth IRAs. Four, conversions from IRAS (traditional, SEP, SIMPLE) to Roth IRAs. Nondeductible contributions already have been taxed. So it's important to file Form 8606 to report nondeductible contributions so that you won't be taxed twice on the same money when you start receiving distributions from that IRA. There's a $50 penalty for not filing Form 8606 if you're required to do so. There's also a $100 penalty for overstating your nondeductible contributions. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 590 (Individual Retirement Accounts).
