Question: 

 Can I contribute $4,000 to my Traditional IRA and an additional $4,000 to my Roth IRA?

Answer: 

No. The contribution limit is a ‘per individual’ limit. Therefore, your aggregate contributions cannot exceed $5,000, or $6,000 if you reach age 50 by year-end. ( These are limits for 2008 ,2009,2010 and 2011)
