To make new contributions to a new IRA, you must be younger than 70 and 1/2. Depending on your income and filing status, you're able to make a contribution to your IRA and the contribution may or may not be tax-deductible. If you have old IRA contributions, you can always open a new IRA and do a trustee to trustee transfer over to Rocket Dollar.
Your Rocket Dollar Self-Directed IRA account can be funded via current taxable income and rollover from old IRA plans or retirement accounts. You must be a paid customer to start the process.
Funding your Self-Directed IRA account can be accomplished in 3 different ways: Contribute to the Self-Directed IRA from your current taxable income, roll over your old employer 401(k) plan, or transfer an old IRA.
