Contributions to a traditional IRA reduce your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) and lower your taxes. Your contribution must be made by April 15 following the tax year to be deductable. Contributions to a Roth IRA do NOT reduce AGI and do not lower your current taxes.
Roth IRA Contribution Basics. Self-employed investors may use a Roth IRA to help fund part of their retirement. The only requirements are that you -- and/or your spouse -- have earned income equal to your contributions, but your adjusted gross income must be under $125,000 if single or $183,000 if married.f you are self-employed and have no other employees or high employee turnover, a SEP IRA may be a good solution for your retirement needs. A SEP allows you to make pretax contributions similar to a traditional IRA, which reduces your taxable income rather than after-tax contributions like a Roth IRA.
