Did you contribute to your self directed IRA for 2013? If you haven’t don’t fret because even though we are three months into 2014 you still have time to make tax-deductible contributions to your self directed IRA.

Making A Deductible Contribution

There are plenty of tax benefits that the government offers to help those prioritize saving for retirement. One of the biggest incentives is making IRA contributions tax deductible.

There is one issue to be aware of when contributing to your retirement accounts. You must be aware that the eligibility of your contribution to be tax deductible depends on your modified adjusted gross income. If you have a high modified adjusted gross income you are less likely to receive any deductions from your contribution. It is very wise to talk to a tax accountant so that you know for sure if your contribution will be tax deductible or not. For more information on what is tax deductible or not check go to IRS.gov/Retirement-Plans

Self Directed IRA Contributions

Self directed IRA contributions work the same way that standard IRAs work. To know more about how much you can actually contribute to your self directed IRA check out, Retirement Contribution Limits As we have mentioned time and time again, the main difference and benefit of a self directed IRA over standard IRAs is the ability to invest in alternative assets.

2013 Contributions Still Available
