Answer

  • The correct answer is Option ‘A’ $ 0 is the maximum deductible contribution that he can make for 2018.

This is because he will reach age of 70 ½ age in Jan 2018. The traditional IRA closes the door to new contributions once you reach 70 ½ years of age [even if you are still working].

  • General limit for 2018 is $ 5,500 [$ 6,500 if you’re older than 50 years as catch up contribution].
  • No contribution is acceptable when the age reached is 70 ½ years.
