Yes, 2 separate things (accounts). The 401K investing doesn't affect the contribution amount allowed into the IRA. However, if you are contributing to a 401k, you are an active participant in a retirement plan at work. If your modified Adjusted Gross Income exceeds a certain amount, there are limits on how much you may deduct for a contribution to a traditional IRA. You may still make a full non-deductible contribution, however.
