The Limit Is Not the Whole Story: Income Phase-Outs

The contribution limit caps how much you can put in; separate income tests decide whether you are allowed to put it in a Roth IRA at all, and whether a Traditional contribution is deductible. Two different tests apply. Roth eligibility phases out over a modified adjusted gross income range that depends on filing status, reducing the amount you may contribute directly and eventually barring it. Traditional deductibility phases out over its own range, but only if you — or your spouse — are covered by a workplace retirement plan; with no workplace plan on either side, the deduction generally survives at any income. Being over the Roth range does not end the matter: a non-deductible Traditional contribution followed by a Roth conversion is the standard route, though the pro-rata rule applies across all your Traditional IRA balances and can make the tax bill larger than expected. Current ranges are published annually by the IRS.

Before relying on the figure above, check your filing status against the current phase-out range for the account type you intend to use — the cap and your eligibility are separate questions.
