For example, interest-only loans are a popular type of mortgage that are not covered by the QM rule. Many lenders will still originate these loans because there is a demand for such a product. These will probably be the most common loan type under the non-QM umbrella, with high-net-worth borrowers the likely target.
Alimony income. For purposes of making an IRA contribution, taxable alimony income counts as qualifying income. This is a special rule that permits you to build retirement savings in an IRA even if you rely on alimony income for your support. The rule applies only to taxable alimony income, though.
If one makes only $2,000 in taxable compensation, one's maximum IRA contribution is $2,000. If a taxpayer's income exceeds the income limits, they may still be able to effectively contribute by using a backdoor contribution process (see #Traditional IRA conversion as a workaround to Roth IRA income limits below).or example, if someone has contributed $10,000 post-tax and $30,000 pre-tax to a traditional IRA and wants to convert the post tax $10,000 into a Roth, the pro-rated amount (ratio of taxable contributions to total contributions) is taxable.
