No income, no IRA contributions

0

Q: My wife and I are retiring from federal civil service on Sept. 30. We want to continue adding money to IRAs we had prior to our civil service careers. We will not be employed after leaving the federal government. Can you share the contribution amount we can make to an IRA annually?

A: If you have no earned income, you can’t make IRA contributions.

Share.
