    no income limits to contribute, there are income limits to deduct the contribution from your taxes.

      Is the limit the same as a roth ira, namely $4k this year, and then $5k next year? This is just out of curiousity.

        Big Saver: Your traditional and Roth IRA share the same limit, so if you contribute $2k to a Roth you can only contribute $2k to a traditional. In 2008 the limit goes up to $5k, then I think it's indexed for inflation.
