IRA contributions | Robinhood

IRA contributions

For the 2024 tax year:

  • You can contribute up to $7,000 (under age 50) and $8,000 (50+) total across all of your IRAs.
  • You can only contribute to a Roth IRA if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is under $161,000 if you’re single, and $240,000 if you’re filing jointly.

Keep in mind, these income limits don’t apply to your ability to contribute to a traditional IRA, contribution limits can change annually. Visit the IRS website or consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.

Make a contribution

After you’ve set up your Retirement account with us, do the following to make a new or recurring contribution or an indirect rollover:

  1. Go to Retirement

  2. Select Contribute

  3. Enter the amount you’d like to contribute. You can see the amount you can contribute on Robinhood until you reach your max for the year

  4. Select Continue

  5. Confirm the details of your contribution, including:

    a. Frequency - Adjust the contribution to be recurring

    b. Funding method – All new IRA contributions, IRA transfers, and 401(k) rollovers can earn the IRA match*

    c. Type of contribution – Either New IRA contribution or Indirect rollover

    d. Tax year - only make contributions for the current tax year in the Robinhood App

  6. Select Submit

You can view your previous contributions anytime in RetirementContributionsHistory.

Keep in mind

All IRA contributions count toward your annual limit. If you made contributions to another external IRA, you’ll want to factor in those amounts when contributing to your Robinhood IRA.

Recurring contributions

You can set up recurring contributions to your Robinhood IRA. Simply select a Frequency that’s recurring in the steps to Make a contribution, including:

  • Weekly for a contribution to initiate every Monday
  • Twice a month for a contribution to initiate on the 1st and 15th of every month
  • Monthly for a contribution to initiate on the 1st of every month
  • Quarterly for a contribution to initiate on the 1st of January, April, July, and October

To change or cancel a recurring contribution

  1. Go to Retirement
  2. Select Contributions
  3. Select View contributions
  4. In Recurring contributions, select the contribution you'd like to edit
  5. Make any applicable changes, and then select Submit

Taxes for contributions

Contributions will be reported on IRS Form 5498, which is issued annually in May.

If you’ve mistakenly allocated a new IRA contribution to the incorrect tax year, you can contact us to request an adjustment.

Keep in mind

Indirect rollovers must happen within 60 days, can only be done once per year, and can’t be adjusted.
