2020 Contribution Limits for IRAs

Based on the estimated cost of living calculations for 2020, the IRS has determined they cannot support an increase in the contribution limit for 2020. The limit will remain at $6,000. Additionally, the IRA reminds everyone that the IRA catch-up provision limit for employees aged 50 and over is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment. Therefore, the contribution limit will remain at $1,000.
