If you have a question about why TurboTax does what it does,
you should direct your question to TurboTax. The answer
stands. You cannot temporarily or permanently contribute
more than one year's contribution limit in any one tax year,
and an excise penalty applies to any such amounts that ARE
contributed in this fashion.

I have a question along similar lines. If one inputs $10,000
or some other amount greater than $3500 for 2004 IRA
contribution in TurboTax then why does the tax liability
reduced in final calculations? The program actually shows
direct relationship between tax liability (reduction) and
IRA contribution (increase). Is it possible that any
cotribution over $3500 is being treated as some other
financial expense?

I would appreciate some input.
Thanks in advance.

No. The IRA contribution limit for 2005 is $4,000 ($4,500 if
over 50).

No. It's neither a rollover nor is it a contribution (part
of it could be, but as it exceeds the maximum allowable
amount, your trustee should reject it).

Default IRA contribution ?

I have a traditional IRA in which I have
a portion invested in laddered CDs. Can I
temporarily deposit money($10,000) in my
IRA and then remove it about a month later
without any penalties or complications

Thanks,
Joe
