age limit on ira contributions
Roth IRA Contribution Limits for Individuals 50 or Older. For individuals that are age 50 or older the same $5,500 contribution limit across all Roth IRAs is in place. However, the IRS also allows these individuals to also contribute an additional $1,000 as catch up contributions. This allowance is provided to assist individuals that are behind in retirement saving, but is available to all individuals over age 50 that qualify for a Roth IRA.
