sweez,

One of the experts here (Kaye Thomas) has a nice web site you might want to check out

fairmark.com

Quoting from the page

Your Roth IRA contribution is not reduced or otherwise affected by any contribution you make to a 401k plan or 403b plan. (Technically these amounts are contributed by your employer, not by you.)

It's the same for a traditional IRA.

I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think the income limitations for the Roth apply to a traditional IRA. Everyone can do the traditional.

Sweez,

If I have a active 401k Plan at work
Can I still open up an IRA in another institution and contribute to it.


You may, but it is not tax deductible, as it would be if you didn't have the 401K.
