I'm 54, working part-time, and my partner's income covers our current needs. I'm putting 100% of my salary away in a 403b (it won't even hit the $20,500 max). I also have some inherited annuities that I need to cash in, which will give me about $15K taxable income. Since I'm not taking anything home from my job, can I put any of the net from these annuities into a Roth IRA? ie: does one have to have actual payroll- earned income to put into a Roth?
thanks much
