How to Contribute to Your IRA

How to Open an IRA Account

To open an IRA account, complete an IRA Application Form and mail it back to Harbor Funds with your check.  You can either complete the application on your computer and print it, or print the blank application and complete it by hand.

For the 2023 tax year, your total contributions to all of your Traditional and Roth IRAs cannot be more than $6,500 ($7,500 if you're age 50 or older), or your taxable compensation for the year, if your compensation was less than this dollar amount. For the 2024 tax year, your total contributions to all of your Traditional and Roth IRAs cannot be more than $7,000 ($8,000 if you're age 50 or older), or your taxable compensation for the year, if your compensation was less than this dollar amount.

The SEP IRA contribution limit is the lesser of 25% of your compensation or $66,000 for 2023 and $69,000 for 2024.

For more information about contribution limits for IRAs and other retirement plans, review our chart on Retirement Plan Limits.
