2020 – 09/04 The IRS has issued guidance on certain provisions of the SECURE Act, including the repeal of the maximum age for traditional IRA contributions. The law eliminated the restriction that a taxpayer couldn’t contribute to a traditional IRA starting in the year he or she reached age 70½, even if the person continued to work. The guidance answers the question: Is a financial institution that serves as trustee for an IRA required to accept post-age 70½ contributions in 2020 or subsequent tax years?
