Roth IRA Eligibility Requirements Made Simple and Clear!

Roth IRA is named after its chief legislative sponsor the late Senator William Roth of Delaware and it is nothing but Individual Retirement Arrangement. Roth IRA is considered more advantageous than the traditional IRA in many ways. Many people these days are opting for the Roth IRA only. There are few eligibility criteria’s that you should satisfy if you intending to take Roth IRA. The Roth IRA eligibility requirements are as follows-

The first eligibility requirement is based upon income. The congress has fixed a certain income limit on the people who wish to contribute to Roth IRA. Only if you’re MAGI i.e. Modified Adjusted Gross Income is below a certain level you can contribute to this IRA. If your MAGI hit the top of the range then you are not allowed to contribute at all. Excess Roth IRA can always be converted into traditional IRA.

The various phase-out ranges of MAGI are up to $160,000 to qualify for full contributions and $160,000-$121,000 in case of partial contributions for single filers. For joint filers it is $167,000 to qualify for full contributions and $167,000-$177,000 in the case of partial contributions. In case of married filing separately it is $0 for full contribution and $0-$10,000 for partial contribution.

Tax payers of less than $100,000 in the year of conversion and who are not married filing separately can convert from traditional IRA to Roth IRA. Withdrawal can be done if 5 seasoning years have elapsed and a justification exists such as retirement or disability. Reaching 59.5 years of age i.e. retiring is the simplest of justifications for withdrawal. Limited qualified withdrawals can be done if you are disabled or buying a house for the first time. These are the various Roth IRA eligibility criteria’s that one should satisfy in order to contribute to it.
