Before-Tax Contribution Limit

The IRS limits your before-tax contributions for 2007 to $15,500.

However, if you’ll be age 50 or older in this calendar year, you’re also eligible to make catch-up contributions of up to $5,000 for 2007.

These limits apply to all 401(k) plans or similar plans you participate in during the calendar year.

IRA Limits

The IRS limits your 2007 contribution to $4,000 for the calendar year.

If you are 50 or older as of 12/31/06 you can contribute an additional $1,000 a year in catch-up contributions.

Don’t forget to claim this contribution in your taxes for the year.
