What are the income limits for Roth IRA contributions for 2019?
The amount you are permitted to contribute to a Roth IRA is determined by your income. If you are single, your modified adjusted gross income must be less than $122,000, and if you are married and filing jointly, your modified adjusted gross income must be less than $193,000 in 2019. Above those levels, contributions are phased down, and you can’t put any money into a Roth IRA until your income reaches $137,000 for single filers and $203,000 for married filers.
Can I still contribute to Roth IRA for 2019?
You can still contribute to your IRA in 2019 if you’ve already filed your state and federal income taxes for the year. However, the tax advantages might not be as easily available.
“It’s not too late to contribute,” Martin argues, even if you’ve already submitted your tax return. However, if you did not disclose the IRA contribution on your original return, you may need to amend your return to report a deduction in order to realize the full tax benefits, he says. If you choose to pursue this, he suggests consulting with a tax specialist.
You might also view the extra gift as a nondeductible addition if you don’t want to file an amended return, according to Holden. In other words, there are no tax benefits to doing it.

How do I calculate my Roth IRA contribution limit?
Contributing to a Roth IRA is also contingent on your entire income. The IRS imposes income limits on high-earners. Your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) and tax-filing status determine the restrictions. MAGI is computed by subtracting deductions for things like student loan interest, self-employment taxes, and higher education expenses from your adjusted gross income (AGI).
If you are single and your MAGI is less than $125,000 (or $198,000 if married and filing jointly), you can contribute the full amount in 2021. If you earn more, your maximum contribution will decrease as your MAGI rises. You won’t be able to contribute anything if your MAGI is more than $140,000 (or $208,000 for married couples filing jointly).
