He also opened a Roth IRA through his stockbroker. Can Bill contribute to all his accounts? Click here for an explanation. Bill can contribute to any or all of his accounts this year, but the combined contributions for the tax year cannot exceed the lesser of the general IRA limit or his compensation for the tax year.
