I recall a number of months ago talk about increasing the maximum contribution to IRA's to near $5000 or higher. Has there been any further discussion or steps taken to pass this idea???

thanks, darren

It's passed the House of REpresentatives and the bill now goes to the Senate.

The House bill related to IRAs was HR 10 which passed with 400+ votes. The companion Roth site mentioned below has references to bill summaries and complete text. While it is likely that the IRA limits will be changed, a call to your representative would nudge it along.
