Is it OK to do that? Can I contribute to the Roth account while having Traditional IRA? Thank you in advance.

The above says it all. My wife and I are both over 50, and we file married/filing jointly. If we both put $5000 in our IRAs, do we get a $10,000 deduction, or do we max out at $5000?

thanks a bunch…

My husband and I are both 21 right now, and we have not put his name on it because we would like to open up one for him in order to maximize future tax-free withdrawals.

Would we have to file separate tax returns for this to be legal? Is a person allowed to have more than one Roth IRA?

Thanks.

Currently both are working and earn 100,000. When retired their income will be 46,000. They have 300,000 combined in their 401k and would like to know if it makes financial sense to rollover to a Roth Ira. Thank you for your help.
