Are there any age limits on contributing to a traditional IRA?

There are no longer any age limits on making contributions to traditional IRAs. The cap of age 70½ expired after 2019. This means that those of any age who continue to have earned income (or other income treated as earned income) can contribute to a traditional IRA for 2020 and later years. There was never any age cap on a Roth IRA.

Installment sale

A sale of property that allows for tax deferment if at least one payment is received after the end of the tax year in which the sale occurs. The installment method does not apply to year-end sales of publicly traded securities. Dealers may not use the installment method. Investors with very large installment balances could face a special tax.
