Michigan IRA 2019 contributions

For the 2019 tax year, individuals can make annual contributions to a traditional or Roth IRA of up to $6,000 or 100% of earned income, whichever is less. Married couples who file jointly can contribute up to $11,000 ($6,000 per IRA) provided either spouse has earned an income of at least that amount. Individuals age 50 or older can take advantage of a catch-up provision and contribute an additional $1,000 to an IRA.

Customers can set up a Michigan IRA with a minimum initial contribution. Adding money every month will allow the account to grow on a tax-deferred basis.  Regular contributions will be a great resource to help you save for the future and provide for a comfortable retirement.
