Hello. 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…

I contributed $6000 to a Roth IRA in 2006, which caused an excess of $2000. It is now after the tax-filing deadline with extension. I know that there is a 6% excise tax penalty already. My question is: Are there any taxes if I withdraw the $2000? And would the early distribution penalty 10% apply since I am under 59 1/2?
