Deductibility Limits
Individuals whose modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is below the ranges listed in Table 2 can take the full deduction for traditional IRAs, or these individuals can make a full contribution to a Roth IRA or education IRA. Your MAGI is calculated by taking your adjusted gross income and adding certain items such as foreign income deductions, foreign-housing deductions, student-loan deductions, IRA-contribution deductions and deductions for higher-education costs. If your MAGI is between the ranges indicated, you can only take a partial deduction from or make a partial contribution to the indicated IRA account.
