What happens if I contribute more than 5500 to my IRA?
If you contribute more than the IRA or Roth IRA contribution limit, the tax laws impose a 6% excise tax per year on the excess amount for each year it remains in the IRA. The IRS imposes a 6% tax penalty on the excess amount for each year it remains in the IRA.
What would cause a taxpayer’s contribution to a traditional IRA to be non deductible?
A non-deductible IRA is a retirement plan you fund with after-tax dollars. You can’t deduct contributions from your income taxes as you would with a traditional IRA. Many people turn to these options because their income is too high for the IRS to let them make tax-deductible contributions to a regular IRA.
