Are there any age limits on contributing to a traditional IRA?

There are no longer any age limits on making contributions to traditional IRAs. The cap of age 70½ expired after 2019. This means that those of any age who continue to have earned income (or other income treated as earned income) can contribute to a traditional IRA for 2020 and later years. There was never any age cap on a Roth IRA.

Tax attributes

When debts are cancelled in bankruptcy cases, the cancelled amount is excluded from gross income. Tax attributes are certain losses, credits, and property basis that must be reduced to the extent of the exclusion.
