Sole Proprietor and Roth IRA

Is the profit I make selling products as a sole proprietor eligible to be used into a Roth IRA? My limited understanding is that deposits into a Roth IRA has to come from ‘earned income’. We don’t issue ourselves a W2, we simply take the profit, make Estimated Federal tax payments quarterly and just want to maximize the best use of profits.

Many Thanks.

Sole Proprietor and Roth IRA

Hello there, EBC2024.

 

IRAs allow you to make tax-deferred investments to provide financial security when you retire. 

 

There are some qualifications and requirements for the Roth IRA. You can check this website for more details about it: https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/roth-iras.

 

Please note that QuickBooks Community is unable to provide information on the eligibility of a Roth IRA. I recommend reaching out to your accountant or the IRS. They're the right people who can answer this kind of questions.

For future use, here's a guide on paying your federal estimated taxes each quarter: Pay federal estimated quarterly taxes in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

 

If you have other concerns besides the Roth IRA, please don't hesitate to post them here in the Community space.
