There are no age or income restrictions that limit who can open up and save on an individual 401 (k) plan. In the past, if you were over 70 and a half years old, you would lose the ability to contribute to a traditional IRA. However, under the new law, there are no age restrictions. Nor is there any age restriction for people over 70 years of age to contribute to a 401 (k) plan or to invest in a Top Gold IRA. For starters, custodians holding IRAs aren't required to accept contributions from savers over 70 and a half years old, according to new guidance from the IRS.
Those who do so must modify their IRA contracts. Keep in mind that those who are 70 and a half years old or older and make contributions to a traditional IRA, a SIMPLE IRA, or an SEP IRA will continue to have to apply for an RMD, even if they are still working.
