Know More about Roth IRA Eligibility Norms

Everyone who is planning for his or her retirement must have certainly heard about Roth IRA schemes, but not all of them have a clear idea as to how the product works, its features, the returns that a customer can expect and more importantly the eligibility norms governing this product. Though it is indeed a popular product unless a customer is clear about the rules governing the product, he would not be able to do full justice to the potential of this product and take full benefits available in it. So having a clear understanding of the eligibility norms is the first step in this direction.

There are some factors which go into deciding eligibility factors governing Roth IRA  schemes and some of which are as follows; The age of the contributor is an important factor about which the customer should be fully aware of. The second important factor on which the maximum and minimum eligibility is calculated is done by a system known as MAGI or Modified Adjusted Gross Income. The next important thing that is taken into account is the ability as an investor to meet the contribution deadline. The next important point that is considered very carefully is to ensure that going forward as a contributor to this fund the customer will be able to meet the minimum income limits.

Not all source of income are considered for investment in the Roth IRA  schemes and your source of income should be such that it justifies investment under this scheme. Though it is a big subject for which a proper information gathering is required, some incomes which are considered are income from wages and salaries, insurance premiums, tips received as bartenders or other such professions, bonuses received from various sources, commissions received from sales or profit generated from job-related activities that are legal and can stand the test of the law of the land.
