can i contribute to my simple ira
Contribution Limits. The contribution limits for SIMPLE IRAs are lower than 401(k) plans, so your SIMPLE IRA contribution cannot exceed the lower limit and your total contributions can't exceed the higher, 401(k) plan limit. In 2012, the limit for a SIMPLE IRA is $11,500 and the limit for a 401(k) plan is $17,000.or example, if you contributed $2,000 more than your contribution limit to the two plans, you have to report $2,000 more in taxable income for the year. Worse, you get taxed on that money a second time when you take the money out.
