At CalTier, we are experiencing tremendous growth with investors joining our CalTier Multifamily Fund. We are even more excited that a significant sector of these investors are taking advantage of investing in a tax-efficient manner with our CalTier “No Fee” IRA.*

We have received many questions on how to fund an IRA, and what are the annual contribution limits. Today, we will discuss the contribution limits for both 2021 and 2022; the good news is that you can still make a 2021 contribution up until April 15, 2022.

Traditional IRAs

A traditional IRA allows you to deduct your contribution from your income, which can reduce your taxes and make it easier to save. For example, suppose you’re in the 24 percent federal income tax bracket. In order to save $7,000 for retirement in a fully taxable account, you would have to earn about $9,211 before taxes. With a traditional IRA, however, you can deduct that $7,000 contribution, meaning that to get $7,000 to invest, you only have to earn $7,000. (You can only contribute earned income to an IRA; investment income and Social Security benefits don’t count.)

If you (or your spouse) don’t have a retirement plan of any kind, you can take the full deduction for an IRA. If you do have a retirement plan available from your employer — even if you don’t take advantage of it — your ability to deduct a traditional IRA contribution is limited by your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), which is your adjusted gross income on your 1040 or 1040-SR tax form, minus certain deductions, such as student loan interest.

Traditional IRAs — 2021 vs. 2022 deduction limits

You can’t avoid paying taxes on your traditional IRA contributions, as well as any gains, forever. When you start taking withdrawals after age 59 1/2, your withdrawals are taxed at your regular tax rate. For example, if you are in the 24 percent tax bracket and you take out $7,000, you’ll get $5,320 after federal income taxes. In addition, you must take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your IRA after age 72, based on IRS life expectancy tables.

If you take a withdrawal from your traditional IRA before age 59 1/2, you’ll have to pay an additional 10 percent penalty on the entire amount you withdraw. If you are 58 years old and take $7,000 from your IRA, for example, you’ll owe a $700 tax penalty in addition to any federal and state income taxes on the entire amount you withdraw.

Roth IRAs

Contributions to a Roth IRA aren’t deductible, but you pay no tax when you withdraw your contributions at any age. And if you make a qualified withdrawal after you hit age 59 1/2, you pay no tax on your earnings, either. (Also, you must have started your Roth IRA account at

least five years before taking withdrawals from your earnings.) There are no RMDs for Roth IRAs.

There’s one catch: Your ability to make contributions to a Roth IRA are limited by your federal income tax filing status and your MAGI.

The table below shows the income limits for 2022 for making Roth contributions. As with traditional IRA contribution limits, the Roth income limits are adjusted for inflation each year.
