The earned income includes compensation from salary, wages, commissions, bonuses and alimony. Income from interest, dividends, annuities or pensions does not count as earned income in the eyes of the IRS. The contribution limit for a Roth IRA is the same as the contribution limit for a regular IRA.
In addition, married workers can also contribute to a spousal IRA on behalf of their spouse if that spouse did not have any earned income that year. Regardless, income from interest, dividends, and capital gains alone does not permit a person to contribute to an IRA. How Much You Can You Contribute to an IRA? Provided your compensation is at least as much as the amount of your contributions, taxpayers under 50 years old may currently contribute up to $5,500 per year to their IRA(s). Those at least 50 years old by the end of the tax year may contribute an additional $1,000 in catch-up savings annually for a total of $6,500.
