Can I start a Roth IRA with $25,000?

by Roth IRA Answer Gal on April 26, 2008




I know the annual max contribution is $4,000, but is there a max if I’m pulling the initial investment from cash, mutual fund and a VUL?

Still 4K unless you roll a 401K into a IRA then convert paying the tax.

Doesn’t matter how you are funding the Roth IRA, the limit is still $4,000 or $5,000 if you are 50 years of age or older.

The limit for a Roth is $4,000/$5,000 per year

No, unless the money was being rolled over from another tax deferred retirement plan, the annual max stays the max..
