This measure opened the issue of what to do about slavery in border states that had not seceded or in areas that had been captured by the Union before the proclamation. In 1864, an amendment abolishing slavery passed the U.S. Senate but died in the House as Democrats rallied in the name of statesâ rights.
The IRS sets limits on after-tax contributions to your IRA. When it comes to retirement plans, a penny saved is not only a penny earned. Thanks to generous tax deductions and other government subsidies, it is also a penny invested. This holds true even when you invest after-tax money into an IRA.
The combined amount may never exceed the annual contribution limit. For example, should a 45-year old be eligible and choose to contribute $3,500 to his Roth IRA during the 2017 tax year, the most he could contribute to a regular IRA for the same tax year would be $2,000 given the current $5,500 annual limit.
