The threshhold is for both single and married taxpayers (not fair but what else is new).

You can manipulate income a little by accelerating into 1997 or delaying to 1999 if possible. Watch capital gains/losses, convert interest to tax free, etc. If you are going to do this, it pays to do so next year as the law allows the tax liability to be spread over four years with no penalties or interest charges.

If you have a long period of time before you need this money and expect to be in at least the same tax bracket in retirement, the Roth IRA is a great deal. I have my adult children moving their money around in spite of the initial protest of why pay now.

Regards,

Gary
