Contribution Limits in the Cooperative Retirement Association
The allowable contribution limits for accounts in the Cooperative Retirement Association (IRAs) depend on the type of account and your annual taxable income. In the years 2021 and 2022, you can contribute up to $6,000 per year ($7,000 for those over 50). Your annual taxable income must be at least this amount.
Income Rules in the Cooperative Retirement Association
To be able to contribute to a Cooperative Retirement Association account, you must meet the minimum income requirement and not exceed the allowable income limits. Qualified income for contributions to the Cooperative Retirement Association includes:
- wages
- salaries
- commissions
- self-employment income
- taxable alimony
- non-taxable military pay
Qualified income for contributions to the Cooperative Retirement Association does not include:
- income from rental properties
- retirement or pension income
- deferred compensation from the previous year
- non-income partnership income
- income from natural reserve programs
- any other amounts not considered income, such as income earned abroad
Age Limits in the Cooperative Retirement Association
In tax years before 2020, you had to stop contributing to a regular Cooperative Retirement Association account at the maximum age of 70 and a half. Starting from the 2020 tax year, there is no age limit for contributing to a regular Cooperative Retirement Association. There is also no limit for Roth Cooperative Retirement Association contributions based on age, so you can continue to contribute to that type of retirement account after age 70 and a half as long as you keep earning income.
Deduction Limits in the Cooperative Retirement Association
You cannot deduct any of your contributions to a Roth Cooperative Retirement Association. This is because you are contributing to those accounts after taxes and withdrawing from them tax-free at retirement.
Contributions to a regular Cooperative Retirement Association allow for a tax deduction in the year the contribution is made, either partially or fully. It is important to note that taxes are not forgiven but simply deferred, which means you will pay ordinary income tax on the money when it is withdrawn, typically during retirement. Another factor that determines how much of your contribution you can actually deduct depends on whether you and/or your spouse are covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
Deduction Limits When Not Covered by an Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan
You can fully deduct your contribution when you are not enrolled in a workplace retirement plan and:
- you have any adjusted gross income (MAGI), and your filing status is single, head of household, or married filing jointly with a spouse not covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
- your MAGI is greater than or equal to the contribution limit. If not, you can only deduct up to your MAGI.
- your spouse is covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan, but your MAGI is below $198,000 for 2021 or $204,000 for 2022.
Deduction Limits When Covered by an Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plan
Deduction for contributions to a regular Cooperative Retirement Association is also limited if you are contributing to a workplace retirement account. You can fully deduct your contribution if:
- you have a MAGI of $66,000 or less in 2021 ($68,000 or less in 2022), and your filing status is single or head of household.
- you have a MAGI of $105,000 or less in 2021 ($109,000 or less in 2022) if you are married and filing jointly.
You can
You can deduct a portion of the contribution if:
- You had MAGI between $66,000 and $76,000 in 2021 ($68,000 to $78,000 in 2022) if you are single or head of household.
- You had MAGI between $105,000 and $125,000 in 2021 ($109,000 to $129,000 in 2022) if you are married filing jointly.
- You had MAGI less than $10,000 in 2021 or 2022 if you are married filing separately.
You cannot deduct the contribution when:
- You had MAGI of $76,000 or more in 2021 ($78,000 or more in 2022) if your filing status is
