请问什么条件允许直接Contribute $6000 to Roth IRA?

楼主 (文学城)

我直接往ROTH IRA里放了6000. 用软件报税时说:

You have excess Roth IRA contributions.

Since you contributed more than $0 (the maximum allowed) to your Roth IRA, you'll be charged a 6% penalty. However, you can avoid this penalty by withdrawing the excess contribution, plus earnings, by May 17, 2021.

我收入不到10万为何不能往ROTH里直接放钱?

MAGI = income + capital gain +/- etc.

ROTH IRA eligibility is based on MAGI, modified adjusted gross income.  MAGI includes capital gain and salary. 

So take a look at your MAGI, whether you had big capital gain last year.

no earned income

You need earned income to qualify for ROTH IRA.   Earned income such as salary.

Scholarships and investment income are not earned income. 

Your problem is you don't have any salary.

Just curious: TA, RA 不算 earned incomes?

stipend is not earned income

RA/TA are paid stipend, not a salary.  Stipend are exempted from minimum wage and even employment tax. 

This is why you don't accumulate social security/medicare points while being TA/RA.

TA和RA有w2表的可以。但是如果是F签证应该是不能弄这个的。

RA,TA如有W2或1099 MISC,NEC,就可以算成EARNED INCEOM,如果没有,就不可以。

contribution to roth IRA 还用在报税时考虑吗?我的报税软件没问这个问题?

我家是有salary收入的。

我理解rothIRA是税后的钱放里面, 就像税后的钱买了东西一样,和报税没关系了

新年好运
TurboTax会问,因为它会算你是否合格

自己报6千块现金收入是否就可以存了?
未知
RA, TA 不是白拿钱,每周要干20小时活

“活”不一定非要在办公室,或者辅导学生,查资料,备课时间都算
