I've read these answers:



  • Can I deduct a contribution to an IRA if I also contribute to a 401(k) in the same tax year?


  • 401K participant for part of year - Can I contribute to an IRA?


  • Can I contribute money to a 401k, 457b, and an IRA all at the same time?


but some of them are pretty old, some of the links are dead, and I'm not sure if any applies exactly to my situation.



My former employer offers a 401(k) plan, to which I had contributed about 60% of the annual limit when I left that job around 60% of the way through the year.



For the remaining 40% of the year I am/will not be covered by any retirement plan. Can I contribute any deductible money to my traditional IRA?



The IRS website has a page for folks covered by a retirement plan at work and a page for those who are not, but no page for a person in both categories.

          I believe this article answers the question:




          Are You Covered by an Employer's Retirement Plan?



          You’re covered by an employer retirement plan for a tax year if your employer (or your spouse’s employer) has a:



          • Defined contribution plan (profit-sharing, 401(k), stock bonus and money purchase pension plan) and any contributions or forfeitures were allocated to your account for the plan year ending with or within the tax year;



          So being covered by a plan at any part of the year is sufficient.

          One-line joke

          A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
