For an IRA or Roth IRA, this could occur if: o You have earned income less than the amount contributed OR o You contributed more than the maximum allowed for the year ($4,000 for 2007 ($5,000 maximum if you are age 50 or older) OR o You have the contribution limited by your federal adjusted gross income. For a Qualified Plan, this could occur if: o You have more than one 401(k) plan OR o Fall into the highly compensated individual rules So you know that you’ve over contributed and you’ve taken the money back out of the retirement plan.
