A few months back the IRS released their 2012 IRA contribution limits and income phaseouts. If you have a traditional or Roth IRA, you should keep a close eye on the limits every year because every once in a while well see an increase in allowed contribution amounts or in the income phaseouts. When that happens, youll want to increase your contribution amounts, or adjust your pre-tax giving so that you can fully take advantage of what the current rules are.
