Traditional IRA deduction limits are based on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), depending on tax-filing status, and whether you or your spouse are covered by a retirement plan at work.
Keep in mind: If your earned income exceeds the limit to make a partial or fully deductible contribution to a traditional IRA, you can still make a non-deductible contribution up to the annual limit.
