You Asked Us - Roth Vs Traditional IRA

Q: I am 39 years old, and eligible to make a contribution of up to $ 2,000 to a Roth IRA. Can I contribute the difference to a Traditional IRA?

A: Yes. You may contribute the difference of $2,000 ($4,000- $2,000) to your Traditional IRA. In fact, many individuals split their IRA contributions between both types of IRAs, so as to receive the benefits of both types of IRAs, i.e. the deductibility for the Traditional IRA contribution- if eligible, and the potential tax-free growth of the Roth IRA.
