Help Calculating MAGI / tIRA
« on: January 16, 2017, 08:07:01 AM »
Just want to be sure I am calculating this correctly:  AGI (line 37 from 1040) and add back student loan int, half the se tax (wife is se), rental loss, and ira contributions?  If i didn't take a loss on my rental I assume I don't add it back?  I am trying to get to the point where I can figure out how much I can contribute to the tIRA.  I think our magi will be within range to take a partial deduction. 

agi:  91k (15k is net from wife SE)
se tax:  700
rental: 1k to the good (no loss)
student loan: 800
ira:  5500 (my name - working with 401k offered at work.  Wife is SE). 

From here I can just use the ira deduction worksheet to figure out the total we could contribute for the max deduction?

thanks.
