Who is eligible for a traditional IRA?
Anyone under the age of 70 1/2 who has earned income (including the self-employed) can contribute to an IRA. Also, certain unemployed spouses can contribute. An unemployed spouse may open an IRA if:
  • You file a joint return.
  • One spouse has earned income and
  • The unemployed spouse is under the age 70 1/2 before the close of the tax year.
The maximum contribution amount for 2009 is $5,000 ($6,000 if you are age 50 or older). The combined contribution for a couple participating in IRAs cannot exceed $10,000 ($12,000 if both are at least age 50), with no more than $5,000 ($6,000 if both are at least age 50) allocated to either IRA.

No one but an insurance company can guarantee an income for life. When you have a Traditional IRA, you have an income that you cannot outlive and you can select the payout option that best suits your financial needs.
