- I was just told that one cannot contribute more than $2K per year to an
- IRA, that if you do the IRS will penalize you. Is this true??? I
- guess I always assumed that the $2K limit was the max you could deduct
- on your 1040. I skipped contributing for a couple of years, and wanted
- to make up for it now. If this limit is true I guess I'm out of luck.
-
- Just out of curiosity, what kind of penalty will can the IRS impose if
- one over-contributes?
