- I finally remembered to bring a copy of IRS publication 590 (Individual
- Retirement Arrangements) in to work, and it seems to back up John.
-
- It states "You can contribute up to $2000 or 100% of your taxable compensation,
- whichever is less, to your IRA each year".
-
- To get your own copy of this document, call the 800 number for IRS publications
- found in your phone book, and ask for a copy of Publication 590.
-
- Hope this helps,
