IRA contribution reduces MAGI?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Can a standard IRA contribution (assuming I qualify) reduce my MAGI for purposes of meeting the $100,000 limit for conversion of IRA to Roth? Whatever the answer, what is the official source I can read?

The answer is an IRA deduction will NOT reduce MAGI. Originally it did, but the technical corrections changed that.

See Sec 408A.
