K1 & Traditional IRA contribution

Sep 04, 2013 2 Replies

Can anyone who receives income from an S Corp (reported on a K1)make a deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA the same as if they received their income on a W-2?


You must have taxable compensation to make a contribution. Taxable compensation includes the amount in Box 1 of your W-2 (reflected on Line

7 of the 1040) or your business income on Form 1040 Lines 12 & 18 less any amounts on Lines 27 & 28 (1/2 SE tax deduction & deductions to a retirement plan) or alimony or nontaxable combat pay.

No. See the list in Alan's post.
